Massive data leak of devotees from Meenakshi temple, admin claims technical glitch

Posted on April 13, 2022 by Dissent

Azeefa Fathima reports:

The data of thousands of persons who had registered for attending the annual Chithirai festival of the Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple, was leaked via an email sent to those who registered on the temple’s website. The leaked data includes the names, contact details, ID proofs (Aadhaar, pan card, etc). Meanwhile, the officials remained unaware of the incident.

Read more on The News Minute. The whole thing sounds like error upon error, where those who sought tickets via the lottery system expected to get an email telling those who had won the lottery how to make payment and pick up tickets.

Instead, it seems the email sent them to a web page where the data of thousands of people was exposed to the world.
