“hackers from Bihar copied thumb impressions from a Haryana Government website and withdrew money using Aadhaar-enabled payment system (AEPS) using POS (point of sale) machines.”
As per the Faridabad police, the fraudsters
accessed jamabandi.nic.in and downloaded sale deeds. They copied thumb
impressions of parties who executed the deeds and created silicon
thumbs. They then used these thumb impressions and other details to
withdraw money.
Nitish Aggarwal, DCP, has intimated the
Director, Land Records, about the matter. “Because of easy availability
of data, it is recommended that only the
first page of the sale deed be made visible for the general public,”
said Aggarwal. He also recommended an audit of the website for plugging
loopholes.
The matter came to light during the
investigation of a case where a Ballabhgarh resident lost Rs 30,000 due
to fraudulent withdrawals from her bank account. She had got a deed
registered recently. Three persons from Purnea, Bihar, were arrested.
“They know about these loopholes as they had worked at a common service
centre in Bihar,” said Inspector Basant Kumar. The Director, Land
Records, couldn’t be contacted.

That’s why I have disabled my biometrics and never enable it. SBI credit card people keep calling for re-kyc and they only ask for the thumb impression, I clearly tell them I won’t do this 19th century thing. But they clearly defy the RBI guidelines that other OVD can also be used for KYC purposes.
You can go ahead with DL or anything other than Aadhaar.
I recently did my re-kyc with DL in SBI with no questions asked.
If then try give excuses or deny, you should report to Twitter SBI support. They’ll help you.
Disabled and Locked both are same thing right ?
Damn these guys are smart.
Finance ministry should hire them to bring back black money from abroad
