Vulnerable To Frauds, Fakes & Breaches: Why Govt Auditor Served A Warning To Aadhaar -Saurav Das

India’s national auditor says that Aadhaar, the national identity database and one of the world’s largest, is not finding and plugging leaks as it should. That is leading to rising frauds, hacks, data breaches and other misuse. Some of its failures have denied government services to the country’s most vulnerable. Experts advise restricting Aadhaar’s use and spread, but the government is not open to even addressing or fixing its problems.

New Delhi: At least 470,000 unique identity numbers (UIDs) issued by India’s 13-year-old national identity database, Aadhaar, over nine years were fraudulent. The system is susceptible to being hacked or otherwise undermined, and its own recent warnings of misuse reveal its vulnerabilities. About 30 million of the poorest Indians have lost access to government ration over the last few years.

These findings sum up the result of a new study by the government’s own auditor, various studies and stories by researchers (here, here and here) and journalists (here, here and here) over the past 12 years, and a now-withdrawn warning issued in May by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Aadhaar’s promoter and regulator.

Now issued to 1.3 billion Indians, Aadhaar cannot verify if any of the holders of its unique identification numbers (UIDs) is actually “resident” in this country; and at least 145 duplicate UIDs were generated each day over nine years, according to the first-ever audit of its operations in April 2022 by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).

The CAG report was the first-ever audit of Aadhaar since the first UID number was launched by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in September 2010 marking the “beginning of a big effort for the welfare of the common man”.
