Reportedly, about 1 billion user data have been compromised due to a patch* which also includes biometrics and personal information.

Through this patch which is available at a meager Rs.2500, it is possible to generate Aadhar numbers at will from any location in the world. Reportedly, the patch helps a user to wade through security features like biometric authentication to create new Aadhaar numbers.

Many elements such as criminal, private, political and international might have vested interests to come up with the patch.
