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.

The Aadhaar database is not linked to any other databases, or to information held in other databases. The database is guarded both physically and electronically by a few select individuals with high clearance. There are some criminal penalities for unauthorised access to the database and tampering with the database.
Despite these criminal penalities, ultimate every security system is prone to risk of human error or mischief.

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.

Hello friends,
We can not judge that Aadhar database is secure or not.
However it is in our hand. Aadhar is a secure Id if we use it only in some useful places like as in government offices but this may be insecure if we use Aadhar everywhere such as if we are going to buy a new sim we use Aadhar to activate it but the government denies you to use Aadhar because it may be insecure for you.

I think Aadhaar is very important for all person for id proof but is not 100% secure site because of some days.
UIDAI SITE will be hacked and all data will leak so in my point of view it should not be linked with a banck account only it can be used for id proof.

Yes, it's secure because our Aadhar card data contained a lot of information about the identity of all Indians so the more focus on the security purpose no one can misuse that data because it's under security I heard about the news the data of liked by one website in India but Indian gov band that website so in seeing all perspectives. I am not thinking about the security of the data.
An Aadhar card is the most important document proof is required to an opening bank account or sim purchase but it gives a proper security scanning system so, I think the data is secured in my opinion.

The aadhar database is not secured enough since a security researcher brought to the notice that the demographic data of over five lakhs people were leaked on a website. The website were immediately closed but this shows that the data is not secured.
UIDAI itself lodgeg complain against axis bank to use biometric which is violation of aadhar act. Also the peoples whose biometric was used were not informed. All these shows that UIDAI has to work hard to secure aadhar database.

Hello everyone
In my point of view, Yes , Aadhar database secured enough. Because it is under the control in UIDAI & UIDAI is a government agency where all the information related to the users of aadhar card are keep with carefully and secretly . No one can hacked it easily , if if they hack the id they will need a confirmation code to use it and the confirmation code (otp) always goes to that no. which is registered with Aadhar card . And if we not share otp with any one ,then no anyone will misuse it .
So it is your responsibility to how can you keep it safe.
Thank you

According to me, the Aadhaar database is secured enough because it is under the control of UIDAI and it is a government agency. As we all know if someone tries to hack their database he needs to enter a security code and fingerprint also without a fingerprint no one can use our Aadhaar we can call it OTP and it will send on the no you have registered for Aadhaar and in my opinion, if you are aware enough about these things then no one can hack your database it's your responsibility to secure yourself and your data.

I share my view about Aadhaar data security. The Aadhaar based data is secured by the UIDAI (unique identification authority of India). This is a authority who store the Aadhaar data. As We all know nowdays no possiblities the data is 100%secure because the haker are doing their job very well it not good for anyone. The millions of data are haked so in this case also no surety the Aadhar data is secured but the advantages of Aadhaar card is not carry lots of documents only one card are use anywhere and only one identify is enough.
