According to my point of view, Aadhar card database is secure because when someone wants to make multiple Aadhar cards then automatically it will reject the Aadhar card that means government giving full security to the Aadhar database.
And most important thing is that it has biometric security so can easily hack our personal information through Aadhar card easily. It may be possible but not that much easy.

Hai,
The main aim of the Aadhar is to collect our personal details including fingerprint, etc.
We are linking Aadhar with various schemes. Which government forces the people to involve in the Aadhar scheme.

Hello friends, Aadhar card is one of the identities of our selves like election card, pan card. Nowadays most of the companies asking for an Aadhar card for a verification. Everyone might have done the paytm KYC process while doing verification also they ask for Aadhar card. Somehow it is useful but somehow it is not. Because the 12 digit number on the Aadhar card may be misused.

I don't think that Aadhaar database is secured because if you see recently that there are number of cases in data of Aadhaar card is leaked. If your Aadhar card is steal then person can easily access the personal information or detail.

Aadhar is a unique identification issued to us by the government of India. It alone is enough to identify a person as it contains your biometrics and retinal scan and all the other details. Thus, it is hard to copy or fake it.
Earlier we had to carry a hige pile of documents to confirm our identity but with the introduction of aadhar cards, it has become quite easier to prove your identity. To open a bank account or purchase a sim card which earlier demanded various documents and thus felt like a complicated procedure but the only thing they need now is the person himself and his aadhar. But since last few months, it has been observed that the government has made it mandatory to link all your accounts and other details with your Aadhar card. Thus making people think that their details might be stolen after breaching the system.
Surely there has been a lot of hoaxes circulating over the internet and other social media platforms regarding the info being stolen but there has been no information about this from the official sources yet. Thus keeping in mind the present records it can be assumed that our databases are secured enough. Also, it can be seen that merely having the aadhar details won't effect you as you also need the biometric details.

Aadhaar is safe as an identity and it is also true that creating multiple Aadhaar cards for a single person is difficult.
But in my opinion, it is not that much safe that it should be.
For example, a person in Telangana state access the database and sell lot's of sim card with fack id.

Hello friends.
In my opinion, Aadhaar card is not safe at all, recently there has been a lot of reports regarding a breach in security of Aadhaar data. We all know Edward Snowden how he exposed the mass surveillance by CIA, he warned UIDAI about the risk of a data breach in a tweet saying that Aadhaar can be a profiting tool for the people who are involved in the data business. Recently a FIR has been filed against The Tribune reporter for exposing a data breach, Snowden wrote that journalists exposing such breaches should be given an award, instead of being probed. He further said that the one who actually deserves to be arrested is the UIDAI. According to an article the Aadhaar data was on sale for Rs 500. There was an incident in which M.S. Dhoni's personal data was leaked which led to the blacklisting of CSC e-governance services is a perfect example of leakage of personal information due to human errors.
So, in my opinion, Aadhaar is not safe.

Realy, is that even a question, everyone knows it's safe right. Main dilemma for many of us is, Is it really that safe to link everything with it, I guess most of us would agree with negation to the question. Creating fake ids in India is actually what everyone hears in news on a regular basis. Dependency on a single id is too risky to take the risk.

I think there is noting secure over the net.
Recently, Facebook is also in news for data sharing. Now come to the Aadhaar card.
Recently, one of my friend, made a duplicate fingerprint. And I think it is quite possible to make a fake Aadhaar card.

In my opinion, Aadhar is essential to everyone to avail public services and schemes and to keep an eye on black money circulating to overseas. But when we talk about its security it's below par and the recent incident of TRAI chief creates panic in people.
I say that the Aadhar firewall should upgrade on time with new technology.
The government should encourage ethical hacking and to create awareness among people and need to upgrade fastly with new technology.
And finally need to change security systems once or twice a week.
