Unique Identification Authority of India, UIDAI today strongly dismissed the claims made by certain individuals that they have fetched personal details of a public servant using his Aadhaar number.
In a statement, UIDAI condemned such malicious attempts to malign the world’s largest unique identity project – Aadhaar. It said, Aadhaar has built the digital trust among people at large and these devious elements are trying to spread misinformation. It also stated that Aadhaar database is totally safe and has proven its security robustness over last eight years.
UIDAI emphatically stated that any information published on Twitter about the public servant, RS Sharma was not fetched from Aadhaar database or UIDAI’s servers. It said, the so-called “hacked” information was already available in the public domain with him being a public servant for decades. UIDAI cautioned people not to believe any such fake news about Aadhaar.
