The Unique Identification Authority of India is looking for 20 top hackers to help find vulnerabilities in its security system, which protects the Aadhaar data of 1.32 billion Indians. The 20 selected individual hackers will be given the chance to study the UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository, which stores Aadhaar data of 1.32 billion Indians. The order stated that “the selected candidate should be listed in top 100 of the bug bounty leaders board such as HackerOne, Bugcrowd or listed in the Bounty Programs conducted by reputable companies such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, or Apple etc.” “The candidate should be active in the bug bounty community or programs and should have submitted valid bugs or received bounty in the last one year,” the order also noted. “In case more than 20 applications are received, then UIDAI reserves the right to evaluate and select top 20 suitable candidates an independent committee shall be formulated to assess and verify the candidates’ credentials, past bug hunting records or references and citations,” the order stated.
