Given the size of the leak, Jio's denial lacks credibility. This should be a wake-up call for all of us -- with growing interconnection of our data through Aadhaar, we are increasingly vulnerable to data fraud. arun mehta >There is very little Indian phone and web users can do right now about their privacy, particularly in light of Aadhaar which is nowadays linked to almost everything and has now become mandatory for even SIM cards. The only way there can be some respite for Indian users when it comes to privacy is if the government comes out with watertight laws on privacy and data protection. But so far government has shown no inclination to do something like this. --001a114112d66968a00553f3ccb7 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div><div><span><a href=3D"http://indiatoday.intoday.in/te= chnology/story/jio-data-leak-explained-is-your-data-safe-has-aadhaar-also-l= eaked-and-other-questions-answered/1/998336.html">http://indiatoday.intoday= .in/technology/story/jio-data-leak-explained-is-your-data-safe-has-aadhaar-= also-leaked-and-other-questions-answered/1/998336.html</a><br><br>Jio is de= nying that a leak took place, which imo compounds the original lapse.
