The official #Aadhaar #android app is sending an SMS to authenticate the user. In general, to avoid abuses, you add a sending rate limit. The user has to wait 2 minutes before resend the SMS. @UIDAI did not implement this kind of limit in the app. What are the consequences?
An attacker can extract the authentication HTTPS request made by the official #Aadhaar #android app. After that he just has to write a small script which will try all the possible #Aadhaar numbers.
The attacker will be able to flood the all #India population and @UIDAI will lose a lot of money.

.@UDAI don't be stupid, remove the official #Aadhaar #android app from the PlayStore, this is the best move you have.

In a #WhatsApp conversation, I sent a TTF file 2/n
In my phone, this TTF file is stored in the sdcard. To be precise here: /sdcard/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Documents/Action_Man.enc 3/n

According to an official @nicmeity circular, this phone number is the number of your secretary documents.doptcirculars.nic.in/D3/D03ppw/PPWE….
Is it really your #Aadhaar number @rssharma3?

Hi @KamalAditi,

Challenge accepted!

Please find below the first flaw of #Kimbho app 2.0 aka how to get the online status of #Bolo users
First thing first, we are talking about this app "Bolo Messenger - Secure Chat, Voice & Video Calls" which is the new version of the #Kimbho app play.google.com/store/apps/det…
When you send a message with the #Bolo app, it is checking if your contact is online with this request. The endpoint is taking the "contact userId" (the 1st black rectangle in the picture)

Time for a new thread. The #android #application called @moinsbete is one of the most downloaded applications in France. This app is sending without your consent your personal data to @mopub:
- location
- operator
- mcc
- mnc
- country
- screen size
Yes, all these requests to @mopub are HTTP requests... Welcome to 2018...
This is a very good example of data abuse. Every time you open the @moinsbete #android #app with location on, your location is send without your consent to an US based server owned by @mopub
