Calling it “pretend”, the Centre on Thursday dismissed media experiences of an alleged knowledge leak of database of about 15 crore Indians who registered themselves on the CoWIN portal for Covid-19 vaccination drive. “There have been some unfounded media experiences on the CoWIN platform being hacked. Prima facie, these experiences seem like pretend,” an announcement issued by the Union Well being Ministry mentioned.
Dr R S Sharma, Chairman of the Empowered Group on Vaccine Administration (Co-WIN) mentioned, “Our consideration has been drawn in the direction of the information circulating on social media concerning the alleged hacking of Co-WIN system. On this connection, we want to state that Co-WIN shops all of the vaccination knowledge in a protected and safe digital setting. No Co-WIN knowledge is shared with any entity outdoors the Co-WIN setting. The information being claimed as having been leaked similar to geo-location of beneficiaries, is just not even collected at Co-WIN.”
In the meantime, the Union Well being Ministry and the Empowered Group on Vaccine Administration (EGVAC) are getting the matter investigated by the Laptop Emergency Response Workforce of Ministry of Electronics and Data Expertise (MietY).
This got here after a Twitter consumer claimed that “Darkish Leak Market” have the database of about 15 crore Indians who registered themselves on the CoWIN system.
