The Indian government has done the biggest work of Covid vaccination so far. India is the only country which has administered Covid vaccine to the maximum number of people in the world. Certainly we have lost many people, well-wishers, relatives in the Kovid period, but due to early vaccination, many lives have also been saved. Surely this biggest and courageous work of the Government of India will be counted.
But now there are reports of theft of people’s data from the same Covid portal of vaccination. Although the security of the Kovid app is being checked. The government may not have any direct hand in its data leaking, but the caution that should be taken, there must have been some flaw in it or maybe some insider is selling this data!
In fact, the Covin app has information about Aadhaar, PAN card, date of birth, vaccination center etc. of those people who have got vaccinated. Leaking all this can put people’s safety at risk. Surely the government must be taking some measures in this regard.
TMC spokesperson Saket Gokhale has also shared several screenshots on his Twitter handle claiming data leak from Covin portal.
Before this, there have also been reports of data leakage of Aadhaar card. Why and how these confidential information gets leaked, the government or its system is not in a position to understand. At the same time, there is also news that money has been stolen from the EPF accounts of many people. This can also be a side effect of data leaking somewhere.
It is being told that the money of the employees whose EPF accounts are not linked to their bank accounts is being siphoned off. People should immediately link their PF account with the bank account so that whenever the money comes out, it goes to their account only. Not in someone else’s account.
At the same time, there is also news that money has been stolen from the EPF accounts of many people.
How cruel is this data leak. The person who spends his whole life in taking care of the needs of the family by doing a job throughout his life, he has only a PF account to spend his post-retirement life, due to which a little more money comes in his hands. But if people start blowing it, people will lose faith in PF.
PF is considered the most accessible, safe medium for those who live on salary. Its biggest specialty is that while getting salary, it is not even known that some money has been deducted and it keeps getting saved in PF account gradually. What if even this is not safe? The government will have to make strict arrangements for its security.
