    1. Hi @UIDAI and @KhoslaLabs 👋! Let me show you why it's not a good idea to keep a "debug feature" in the #Aadhaar #Android app you released

        2. In the #Aadhaar #Android app they defined a flag called isLogger which is set to false by defaultpic.twitter.com/PPo16zVLEI

        3. If the flag isLogger is equal to true, every time the writeLog method is called a log file is created in /sdcard/mAadhaar/pic.twitter.com/CP18EYdDsE

        5. To enable the logging you just have to: - unpack the #Aadhaar #Android app with #apktool - change v1 to v0 in one line - repack the app with apktool - resign the apppic.twitter.com/wV5mcgHF6w

        7. If an attacker repack the app with the logging activated and distribute it, all your #Aadhaar data will be available on the sdcard in clear. After that, it super easy for the attacker to upload this log file to his server.

        8. So @UIDAI and @KhoslaLabs, can you ask to your interns...sorry I meant: can you ask to your developers to remove this "debug feature" of the APK?

        Why is the #SupremeCourt unable to stop #Aadhar from becoming one of the greatest disasters India is ever going to witness?

        Haven't you seen the new. I guess the Aadhaar case is already rigged against us. 4 Senior Judges of SC saying that allocation of important cases by CJI is highly suspicious indicates that the Aadhaar case is decided long back.....😇

        God mode ,Elliot! So there is a major flaw with mAadhar and these folks are planning of Virtual IDS on top of it, by using mAadhar as one of the tools.

        Skeptical bro. Urban areas might have an ease but it'd be a hurdle for ppl in rural areas & remote places to obtain it as and when required as they have to commute to nrst Aadhar centre.
