According to my point of view, Yes Aadhaar database is secured enough. As we know that Aadhaar card is an ID proof of the people which contain people basic and biometrical information that is use in many time as an id.
Now, the point is it safe or not. I think, it is safe enough because it is work under UIDAI (unique identification authority of India) which take care of all the data of the people. All the information of the public kept very securetly no one easly get it but if they hack the id he will need confirmation code which is one time password i.e (OTP) that is come on user mobile which is confirm by the id user.
So, it is safe enough at my point of view.

Hello, friends.
Aadhar is the world's most sophisticated bio-metric identification - Word Bank.
As per my point of view, Aadhar is very safe and helpful for people and government. Recently issued about the TRAI head data leak than this issue become national issue but it's totally fack. Are. S. Sharma is Class-I officer so you determine information about him by simple Google search. Also haker's find him details via IIT site and TRAI site.
Main issue is not data storage but a collection of data (Because Aadhar collect data from unorganised form).
Then we do not think Aadhar is 100% safe but definitely, Aadhar is 97% safe as my point of view.

Hello everyone,
Well in my point of view Aadhaar is secure with some improvements still can be made; no system in the world can be perfectly secure but it can be made effective in improving the system, solving the glitches.
Aadhaar managed by UIDI gives a person a unique number, but that too is biometrically verified. A phone is attached to every Aadhaar card and process required to hack this system. However, being handled by the Indian Government they provide the best possible security but there are always some people who set the trap and there are some who fall in it. It means it much more depend on ourselves how to be aware of such frauds.

Good morning friends, I am Rahul Kumawat.
I am glad to start the discussion, Friends the topic given to us is 'Is the Aadhar database secured enough?'.
In my opinion, the topic is related to our daily uses.
I believe that nowadays Aadhar is the ID from which a person can be identified. From this, we can open a bank account and can buy a new sim within a minute. It is secured enough as it includes biometrics like iris verification and fingerprint verification and also has an OTP validation if in case you lost your Aadhaar then you can lock your Aadhar by a website provided by the Indian government so that no one can illegally use your Aadhar.

Hello everyone, Myself Manoj Nogia.
Well, each person has their own opinion about Adhaar Card Security & in my opinion Adhaar Card is not secured enough. Few days ago one of our Cabinet Minister tweeted his Adhaar card details and challanged someone to hack his account. Few days later, some hackers managed to know his account details and deposited 1 Rupee. And time to time we have seen such type of Adhaar card hacking incidents.
One thing is for sure that we don't need other identification cards as we can attach only Adhaar card as id and it saves a lot of time for people. But security poinnt of view it's not secure enough. I think so.

The step was taken by the government to provide every citizen a unique identification number which we call it as an Adhaar card. But the biggest question arises that is it really secured enough? So according to me, the Aadhaar details are not fully secured because day by day cyber crimes are increasing with the increase in the technology and there are many hacking agencies which can access these codes. But it is very common because if you are sharing your numbers also, the leakage of information also involve in it same as here as well there will be some cons and our government is also working in it so that it will be secured in coming time.

Good morning guys.
The topic given to us is very important as we know that Aadhar card is becoming essential day by day. Most of the things is getting connected by Aadhar card but I think Aadhar card is safe enough. If anyone wants to hack our bank account then he requires OTP so till now there is no such device that can hack your OTP. If you lose your money then you will be responsible for it so be conscious. Hackers can only hack general information that will not be harmful to you.
Adhar become the important identity for everyone before that voter id were there but it was only for the people who are above 18, but Aadhar is for everyone.

The AADHAR was launched for the unique identification of the citizens of India. The current government is trying to link this identification to every public services. All the ban accounts, SIMs, PAN are linked so no one can hide any thing from government There has been many incidents of hacking into personal data through the UIDAI sever, which is a critical falw in the system. Recently the UIDAI has issued guidelines for not sharing the AADHAR number into public domains or social media this shows our secrets are not safe. Hackers are getting all the personal data through this which can lead to any serious criminal happenings with anyone.

First of all let me tell you one thing that "no one is 100% perfect in the world" and in the technical world replace the word "perfect" with "SECURE". OK I think Aadhaar database seems to be secured enough still but you can not say that it is the best option in terms of security because "RULES ARE CREATED TO BREAK" as a technical student I know that everything in the technical world can be hacked by applying mad algorithm and hackers try to crack that regularly. That's why Govt thinks to add biometrics system on Aadhaar card to make more securable and that p[roves that still Aadhar is not secured enough, Just think about it. Thanks.

In my opinion. Definitely,Yes!
*Aadhar signifies Unique Identification for citizens which is completely a confidential database.
*Aadhar Act, 2016 implies All India authenticated identity proof for citizens of India in envisaging benefits from Governmental schemes and Benefits.
*Harsh reality may be that Private firms can misuse the database hence criteria could be made not to allow such firms to assume Adhaar ID of applicants.
*Governmental firms never breach such database with anyone as per the Data Protection Act, 2017. So Consensually everything is secured and can't be disclosed without the consent of individual.
Thank you!
