In: Andhra Pradesh website is leaking detailed data of farmers

Posted on July 13, 2018 by Dissent

Trisha Jalan reports:

The Andhra Pradesh government has been leaking the personal data of more than 23,000 farmers who have received subsidies from the Andhra Pradesh Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Board, reported HuffPost India. The organisation encourages the growth of Ayurvedic medicines in the state; the subsidies are offered to farmers and tribals – and all their personal data is available on an open database on an Andhra Government portal.

The portal has been leaking farmers’ phone numbers, Aadhaar numbers, father’s names, passbook and bank account numbers, and the district and mandal where they live – all this information by entering their phone number in the database.
