In: Confidential data stands exposed on GHMC website

Posted on January 4, 2016 by Dissent

The Hindu reports:

It is a free for all on Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s portal when it comes to data about births or deaths. Thanks to its sloppy security, confidential records of several thousands, alive and dead, stand exposed on the municipal body’s website.

At a click of the mouse, birth and death enquiry links can reveal the status of all applications with residential address, place of birth or death and name. Details of over 250 application requests are now available across all the 18 circles of GHMC! If one chooses to search, it is possible to obtain details of all births or deaths for any time duration.

The search can be performed by just entering a search period, gender and a circle.
