Reports suggest India's Aadhaar national ID database was breached, exposing information of ~1.2B Indians and allowing creation of admin accounts by other admins
> https://youtu.be/... Nikhil Pahwa / @nixxin : All those people who have Aadhaar... How often do you make payments authenticated using biometrics? Arun jaitley said in parliament: there were 20 cases of money siphoned off because of aadhaar linkage issues. Afaik, lots of OTP based social hacks WHICH DONT REQUIRE BIOMETRICS https://twitter.com/... Karthik / @beastoftraal : This is mindbogglingly demeaning and disgusting. This is uttered by the CEO of UIDAI, to someone who exposed vulnerabilities in the system, in the interest of citizens and the Aadhaar system itself. The amount of nonchalance and arrogance on display here is phenomenal! https://twitter.com/... @pranavdixit : Netflix is now trolling India's #Aadhaar national ID database to promo...Black Mirror. http://twitter.com/... Netflix India / @netflixindia : Please provide #Aadhaar details for more information. pic.twitter.com/siuuLr1I06

The @UIDAI is in denial. If Rs. 500 and 10 minutes is all it takes to access all our Aadhaar data, it is a flawed and insecure system. pic.twitter.com/ouLY7GAX3a
Here is @ceo_uidai saying that he decided that debayan roy will have to remain with the fake name forever. “You go to your child's school and say that your papa's name has changed”. watch —> https://youtu.be/...
