ARE WE HEADING TOWARDS DIGITAL DISASTER????

Aadhaar authority has set a December 4 deadline for top mobile operator Bharti Airtel to explain why action must not be taken against it for allegedly opening bank accounts of its customers without their informed consent.
This is the tip of iceberg in GOI's most ambitious project wherein many elements are actively involved in exploiting loopholes in the digitalised systems and relentlessly working to fail this project ,the dream project of PM Narendra Modi.
I have been highlighting many times about the misdeeds of wallet companies as well as telecom payment gateways but unfortunately all the investigation agencies as well as government authorities turned the blind eye towards the same. There are very serious issues about other payment wallets regarding non-compliance of KYC and assisting fraudsters by not following reasonable security practices in spite of receiving notifications about the same. If these malpractices are not addressed to with immediate effect I believe that we are heading towards serious digital disaster!!!!!
There must be serious introspection about the haste in which we have migrated to digitalisation and on war-footing there has to be damage control exercise.
Cyber Awareness or Digital literacy is the core issue which has been grossly neglected and I hope should be the one of the answer to this issue.
