Post now updated - 65M #Aadhaar, 66.3 M #MakkalNumber and 220M lines of data. Note that this is < 90% data as #TNPDS has 67.6M #Aadhaar and 68.1 beneficiaries.

Collective failure of @UIDAI @CMOTamilnadu in letting this continue for 2 weeks and losing the entire database

Because the award discounted July 2021 wholesale #TNPDSHack in which Tamilnadu lost all of its resident data along with #Makkal database.

That's how we keep our digital assets secure. @Tnega / @TNITDepartment has not released a white paper on the hack

Data "purity" is worse than Caste "purity". Stop doing anything with data, till you understand cyber, law. Don't be an algorthimic goverenment.

Understanding how cybersecurity and cyber resilience differ is key to effectively responding to cyberthreats.

Comprehensive view of beneficiaries is 360 degree #surveillance database #SFDB.

#DigitalTamilNadu has to also be accountable Tamilnadu. What has the state done till now on the #TNPDSHack losing the entire data of the state?
