New Delhi: The EPFO has
informed ministry of electronics and information technology of data theft,
highlighting the leakage of Aadhaar details of employees.
In a letter dated March 23,
EPFO said that the central intelligence bureau had intimated of “hackers
exploiting the vulnerabilities prevailing in the website
(aadhaar.epfoservices.com) of EPFO.”
The communiqué, written by
Dr V P Joy, central provident fund commissioner, has asked the ministry to
deploy expert technical team to plug in the gaps.
Employee Provident Fund
Organisation, Delhi did not reply to phone calls by News18.
Titled ‘Secret’ the letter
has also been addressed to the Comoon Services Team (Delhi). As of now, servers
and other hosted services on the website have been stopped.
Currently, of the 4.6 crore
contributing members, as many as 2.75 crore have seeded their Aadhaar with
their PF accounts. However, out of this 2.75 crore, 1.25 crore Aadhaar numbers
have been verified. The EPFO has a mandate to verify all Aadhaar-seeded PF
accounts for the switch to AEPS, which is seen to completely change the
experience and efficiency of services for the better.
