Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)

The well-known cyber security specialist Chris Vickery of the security company MacKeeper declared that he will soon make public the source of a significant data leak that affects people.

1.4 billion email addresses, names, physical addresses, and IP addresses are contained in the massive library. It will undoubtedly rank among the biggest data breaches of 2017.

Aadhaar, the largest biometric identity system in the world with over 1.123 billion enrolled members, was one of the many theories put forth by security professionals regarding the identity of the purported victim of the data breach.

Sensitive information concerning the activities of River City Media, a business that bills itself as a respectable marketing agency but is actually the originator of billions of spam messages every day, is included in the enormous archive.
