In a yet another data leak, the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation website has made public the Aadhaar data of at least 1.34 lakh citizens of the state. Shockingly, the website showed almost all the information of individuals such as the father’s name, address, Panchayat, mobile number, ration card number, occupation, religion, caste and Aadhaar number. It also revealed bank details like the bank branch, IFSC code and account number, along with other details. Srinivas Kodali, the Hyderabad-based cybersecurity researcher, brought the issue to light.

It has always been said #Aadhaar is being linked to religion and caste information, apart from occupation. While UIDAI is not doing it, other government departments are. Here is proof that UIDAI has no idea what all is being linked to your unique id. Website reported early today. pic.twitter.com/3acEgcA1Qt
