Biometric digital ID numbers and personal identifiable information of approximately 815 million Indians HACKED
11/13/2023 / By Laura Harris
An anonymous hacker has breached the digital ID numbers and other personal information of approximately 815 million Indians from the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) test data of citizens linked to Aadhaar numbers registered with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
In 2021, the Indian government issued 12-digit unique identity numbers called Aadhaar to its approximately 1.3 billion population. Aadhaar, considered the world’s largest biometric digital ID system, was originally designed to provide a unique identification number to each Indian citizen and curb issues related to duplicate, fake or stolen IDs in government programs.
Indian citizens are required to provide demographic information, including name, date of birth, age, address and gender, as well as biometric information, including 10 fingerprints, two eyeball scans and a facial photograph to register on the system.
However, Resecurity, an American cybersecurity and intelligence agency, revealed that a hacker using the alias “pwn001” posted spreadsheets with fragments of Aadhaar data on Breach Forums and other underground cybercriminal forums. The agency detected that the hacker provided access to the Aadhaar and passport records of more than 60 percent of the 1.3 billion people enrolled in the Aadhaar biometric digital identity program. These records were verified as valid Aadhaar card IDs upon analysis.
The agency further revealed in a blog post that Hunters Investigators confirmed the hacker was willing to sell the entire dataset for only $80,000. The dataset includes the name, father’s name, phone number, other contact details, passport number, Aadhaar number, age, gender, address, district, pin code and state of Indian citizens.
“In one fell swoop, roughly 10 percent of the global population appears to have had some of their most valuable personal identifiable information (PII) compromised. Yet Aadhaar continues to receive plaudits from Silicon Valley,” Nick Corbishley wrote for Naked Capitalism.
