CAG's audit of UIDAI reveals UID/Aadhaar has put privacy of residents at risk Wednesday, April 06, 2022 - http://www.toxicswatch.org/2022/04/cags-audit-of-uidai-reveals-uidaadhaar.html?m=1
UID/Aadhaar has put privacy of present and future residents, PMs, CMs, judges, legislators, soldiers, civil servants and intelligence officials and their families at risk. It shows how contracts awarded by UIDAI in the name of President favour private entities.
"UIDAI had not ensured that the client applications used by its authentication ecosystem partners were not capable of storing the personal information of the residents, which put the privacy of residents at risk. The Authority had not ensured security and safety of data in Aadhaar vaults. They had not independently conducted any verification of compliance to the process involved."
