Re. 1 deposited by Hackers

New Delhi, July 30: When TRAI chairman RS Sharma tweeted out his Aadhaar number, challenging critics to show "one concrete example where you can do any harm to me (Sharma)", he perhaps didn't expect this to happen.

Ethical hackers beat Sharma to the punch after they claimed to have procured his bank account details. If there wasn't enough salt to the chairman’s wound already, Twitterati then decided to post screenshots of sending Re 1 to Sharma via the Aadhaar-Enabled Payment Service like PayTM and Bhim.

By Sunday, ethical hackers pointed out to Sharma that they had managed to leak 14 personal details of the TRAI chairman so far, including his mobile number, PAN number, residential address, date of birth and even his current WhatsApp display picture. Several users also used his details to forge other government IDs.
