Personally being a banker I think that Aadhar should not be made mandatory to avail each and every benefits provided by government There are lots of misuses done by it. I see a lot of customers come to bank and complain that their account is debited by some amount. When I enquire I got to know that theie money is debited using pos terminals and CSP. If Aadhar database is safe enough then how can another person can withdraw money using their own credentials. Fraud is also happening using their mobile numbers. So, this is not safe. Its security should be improved.

Aadhar card is a 12 digit unique number that has all the details of a resident of India.
Recently, a news article shared on the internet showed how a French cybersecurity specialist hacked the Aadhar database in a minute. Do you still have doubts over how secure the database is?
Aadhar cards are made even without the presence of a person whom it belongs to, so just imagine how securely it will all work.
A hacker will churn out all the details from the Aadhar database and that person (just a random 12 digit number in the database) will get destroyed.

In my opinion, Aadhar is necessary as it uidai have all the detail of the person and for crime purpose or any offense or anything, it is very easy to identify this person. But the aadhar detail is not that much secure as there is a day to day fraud cases of varies aadhar linked thing. Mainly by any chance if someone gets your mobile and your aadhar card, he/she can access the details very easy using OTP in the registered mobile number. Thus aadhar detail is not that much safe government need to keep this data away from the fraud people.

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.

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.

Well, Aadhar database!
How much efforts and tricks we do hackers will have their own way. So, if we are really scared of securities we might use our shopping apps, fooding apps, & other unnecessary apps. We do use those because we know how to not fall for fake sites. We'll aadhar database is much useful for anyone who needs it. Instead of showing all our identities altogether only thing Aadhar anywhere in India. Isn't it cool? The database is secured surely if it takes secular biometrics which never had a chance of replacing.

Hello everyone, myself Amit Kumar and we have discussed an important topic that is Aadhar card which we have given us nationality of India.
It has very useful in our life like as, taking sim card, bank and used for our personal Id etc. In this way, it is part of our communication system and secured us. So, it an important part of daily life and secure us.
If we discussed the dark things of it. It is not good for everyone because we have given our database to anyone and we hacked of him so it is not secure our life.

Yes, in my opinion.
Aadhar database is secured enough that one can use it free mindly by just keeping few points in mind.
Aadhar has many step verification procedure that reduces the chances of data theft.
Also, the government is working on facial recognition character which solidifies the security further.
So for a secured platform their always need of being it's updation so that it lessens the risk of data theft.
Also, it has interlinked with many other details and mobile no. So that any case can be tracked.

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.

Yes.
I am in favor for this.
Because of Aadhar card now we can buy new sim card easily earlier it used to take around 3-4 days just to start the sim but now it will activate in a moment.
Aadhar is now updated with our number so we can easily open bank ac with this earlier we have to carry multiple documents with us so this is plus point for us.
If a child lost some where and if his/her parent has made a Aadhar card of that child so with the biometric we can find name of that child but his address as well.
