Can the said journalist just release the application in public domain? If not, why not?
> 2. Aadhar has no way to verify double entries, one whistleblower to Supreme Court said the database has 40% bogus entries, i.e. 450 Million fake IDs. Yes, no verification backup documents, no signup forms exist for 40% entries in the database, and authority has no way to audit them. [b]
If authority has no way to audit them then how did the whistleblower arrive at this magical "40%" figure.
What's worse than the 40% figure is the way the entire letter is written. No way a professional would write a letter with all caps, typographical errors, paragraphs upon paragraphs of sensationalism with little to show for "proof". Even the table which shows the details of "AadhaarCount v/s Aadhaar Records" is not something available in public domain so it cannot be validated as authentic.
> Bonus: Aadhar database was at one time hosted in US with FTP password being Admin$12. This is the state of this sham project. https://imgur.com/a/2sppFrm
I have seen this crop up in every discussion but no where in the screenshot does it say that the data hosted in US was the "Aadhaar database". All this screenshot details is some files were hosted by the UIDAI team on a US based server to share among themselves. The files could be anything. In fact, the email itself says the files are flat files with names:
1. Bill_Desk
2. Total_EXP
How did you arrive at the fact that this is the Aadhaar database itself? I can easily assume that "Total_EXP" can mean total expenses and "Bill_Desk" to do something with bill desk. No where does it say "Aadhaar_DB" or something along those lines. This is laughable!
Also, this same screenshot exists in the so called "whistleblower's letter" to Supreme Court judges as well. There is no confirmation of any such correspondence by the Supreme Court judges about being in receipt of any such letter.
Sorry to say but the way the entire letter is written screams of fake news you typically forward through WhatsApp only to realise later that the entire story was fraudulent to begin with.
