India's state gas company leaks millions of Aadhaar numbers

Another security lapse has exposed millions of Aadhaar numbers. This time, India's state-owned gas company Indane left exposed a part of its website for dealers and distributors, even though it's only supposed to be accessible with a valid username and password. Aadhaar's regulator, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), is known to quickly dismiss reports of data breaches or exposures, calling critical news articles "fake news," and threatening legal action and filing police complaints against journalists.
