It’s time to publish the details of the biggest #DataLeak I had to deal with. @IndianOilcl leaked #Aadhaar numbers: 6,700,000 Aadhaar numbers link.medium.com/4HEQ80c3pU
🔴 Update: Less than 3 hours later, @IndianOilcl shutdown the affected dealer portal
We tried to contact them through multiple ways during days. Nobody answered. This is a sad truth but this the truth: public shaming is the most effective way to fix an issue like this 😔
Excellent report by @zackwhittaker in @TechCrunch techcrunch.com/2019/02/18/aad…
People are debating to know if a leak of this size, 6,7 millions people affected, is big or not. What a time to alive...
🔴 Update: Official communication of @IndianOilcl
Let's call that tweet the second bullet
🔴 Update: indane.co.in is down. They denied the leak but apparently a maintenance was needed 🤷‍♂️

<Thread> My sushi was delivered. I have 3 hours free. It's time for me to live tweet the RE of the RSA conference app play.google.com/store/apps/det…
Last year, the awesome @svblxyz analysed the app and found some stuff
The first step is always to use the app as a standard user. This app is not offering a lot of features. The features are coming soon ^^

If you had enough time and money, what would you do?
Is time and money really a limitation to achieving your dreams?
It's not just a philosophical question. It's my obsession, how can I make a difference in this world? Life is short, too short to be selfish

Long Thread on National Urban Innovation Stack. The draft was announced on Jan 30 with only 15 days for consultation. This is yet another stack in the lines of India stack, health stack, digital sky. Being built by Nandan Nilekani's @eGovFoundation smartnet.niua.org/nuis
The urban stack will have a set of 7 components,
Data exchanges/marketplaces,
India Urban Connect,
Smart Procure - tenders/contracts,
Research & Innovation for Urban India,
National Urban Learning Platform,
Smart Code,
Smart Governance,
The document has interesting terms like bridging digital divide between cities, yes before bridging the poverty gap. Most urban local bodies don't recognise slums, if they do they will have to rehabilitate them. So slums don't exist on data. But here is a stack which wants data

I wrote a piece about #phishing adverts on @Twitter a couple of weeks ago. @TwitterSupport had put it about that they had it under control. Here’s the article...

link.medium.com/UXh4iZtCMR

#security #digitaladvertising
Incredibly, it’s still going on. This is a #safety and #privacy issue that is not being addressed by @TwitterSupport.

This time @capgemini_aust are the main target and it is EXACTLY the same promoted advert that I highlighted in my article. link.medium.com/UXh4iZtCMR
The accounts used to legitimise the #scam this time are

@BenAllenCA @azariarachel @ARTNIGHTLDN @AKIpress_com and @67Kelechi.

Once again, all of them are @verified accounts. And this is still live over half an hour after it was posted.

A thread on all the #Aadhaar data leaks from Andhra Pradesh. The first leak I reported about AP was part of my report on why leaks are happening. The AP government published details of 2 crore residents Aadhaar, bank account numbers, phone numbers as MS Access databases online
Another one part of the same report was AP NREGA website publishing details of another 1,12,99,803 residents #Aadhaar numbers and bank account details.
This NREGA #Aadhaar data leaked again from a different portal. Turns out everyone has everyone's data at multiple databases.

#Aadhaar final hearing- Day 15: Bench assembles. Arvind Datar continues for petitioners.
AD: Points out that the fact if you don't give Aadhaar, your accounts will become inoperable. Says it can't be called consent. There's no option to opt out.
AD: Says Aadhaar was preceded by NIA bill. Reads out the statement of objects, long title & Preamble of Aadhaar Act.
