Aadhaar: the worst data leak in years

 Every year, companies of different segments and sizes experience data leaks. However, the case of the Indian biometric registration system, Aadhaar, is considered the worst in recent years.


The system was developed for digital scanning of the iris and face of, until then, 1.3 billion inhabitants of India, for citizens' registration.


In March 2018, the company suffered a catastrophic data leak. About 1 billion biometric data have been stolen, and can still be found for sale on the dark web.


On the date of the incident, an information security researcher reported a vulnerable endpoint to the authorities, who, in addition to not taking measures to resolve the situation, denied the failure and the data leak.

Dell SonicWall Support Engineers must have the analytical skills to determine the right course of action to resolve issues, such as encrypted threats and ransomware attacks. They provide both team members and clients the status of the problems and the plan of action they will undertake. The position requires a customer-oriented mindset at all times.

The damage from such a spill is enormous, and has jeopardized the security of billions of Indian citizens.
