India Dec 17, 2025

Worried about your Aadhaar info? The government says there's no need—there's been no data breach in the massive Aadhaar database, which covers over 1.34 billion people.
Union Minister Jitin Prasada reassured Parliament that strong security is in place to keep everyone's personal details safe.

How Aadhaar keeps your data secure

Aadhaar uses multiple layers of protection and encrypts your data whether it's moving or stored.
The system is constantly monitored by national cybersecurity teams, and regular audits help catch any weak spots early.
Since it launched, Aadhaar has handled more than 16 billion authentications with zero breaches—so far, so good.
