Based on the numbers available on the websites looked at , [ the ] estimated number of Aadhaar numbers leaked Attack.Databreach through these four portals could be around 130-135 million If you ’ re not familiar with the Aadhaar numbers , we ’ ve previously reported on the history of and concerns surrounding this biometric ID card . Now a fundamental part of Indian society , anyone that has not signed up faces being denied access to many government and private-sector services and schemes . As the government presses on with intertwining the card into everyday life , concerns about the security of the vast amounts of personal data being stored and the potential for its misuse by cyber-criminals continue to mount . The disclosures came as part of a report entitled Information Security Practices of Aadhaar ( or lack thereof ) : A Documentation of Public Availability of Aadhaar Numbers with Sensitive Personal Financial Information , which focuses on just four of India ’ s numerous government portals : But it ’ s not just the ID numbers that the report is worried about ; it also claims that the leaks Attack.Databreach contain “ personally identifiable information of beneficiaries or subjects of the leaked databases ” , putting the estimated number of bank accounts leaked Attack.Databreach at around 100m . The Unique Identification Authority of India ( UIDAI ) , which issues the Aadhaar numbers , claims that there have been no leaks Attack.Databreach , according to The Times of India .

And another that another official as saying that the “ Aadhaar number is not confidential just as bank account number which is mentioned in cheque books and shared with lot of people ” . It seems that , despite the official line , Aadhaar numbers are getting out Attack.Databreach into the public domain .

I haven ’ t yet seen any reports of fraud being committed on the back of a stolen Aadhaar number . Only time will tell . While this new , controversial ID system beds itself in , the world will be watching closely to see where the cracks in security are , how fraudsters take advantage and how the government reacts to plug Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability any holes .

Files claiming to be the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie have leaked Attack.Databreach online after Disney refused to meet hackers ' demands Attack.Ransom . On 17 May , Softpedia 's Gabriela Vatu reported that two copies of Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales had appeared on the popular ( and somewhat appropriate ) BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay . `` According to the information unearthed thus far , the hackers managed to get access Attack.Databreach to the systems of Larson Studios in Hollywood , a company that handles additional dialogue recorded for movies . It seems that the copies they 've managed to get their hands on are in various stages of production and not exactly what you 'd expect from a full cinema-ready release . '' News of the extortion attempt first appeared in The Hollywood Reporter on 15 May when Bob Iger , CEO at Walt Disney , revealed the hackers had demanded Attack.Ransom that Disney pay Attack.Ransom a `` huge sum '' in Bitcoins to prevent them from leaking a then-undisclosed movie online . At the time , the attackers said they would release the film incrementally to netizens , first publishing clips lasting only a few minutes and slowly building up to 20-minute segments . Iger said Disney decided to not pay Attack.Ransom the attackers and was working with federal law enforcement to investigate the theft of one of its productions . It 's unclear who exactly perpetrated the leak Attack.Databreach - if indeed the files really are of the movie . Even so , a potential candidate is The Dark Overlord , a group of hackers who released the fifth season of Orange Is the New Black after Netflix refused to meet its ransom demands Attack.Ransom back in April 2017 . Around that time , the hacking gang , which has also extorted Attack.Ransom non-film entities in the past , tweeted out that it had stolen Attack.Databreach content from a number of other media companies . It did not name Walt Disney by name , though it did point to FOX , ABC , and others . Who is next on the list ? FOX , IFC , NAT GEO , and ABC . Oh , what fun we 're all going to have . We 're not playing any games anymore . While Disney and Netflix continue to work with the FBI in tracking down The Dark Overlord , someone has already removed the two copies of what claimed to be the Pirates of the Caribbean film from The Pirate Bay . The hackers could release the movies again . Or they might be focusing on their next target . While movie-goers might celebrate a leak of the movie , media companies like Walt Disney do n't want viewers gaining early access to their content . That 's why organizations should take the opportunity to conduct some security awareness training with their employees . This effort should include phishing Attack.Phishing simulations and reviewing the security readiness of companies along their supply chains . Article updated 19 May 2017 .
