Heard on business television between 08:37:26 - 08:40:26 IST.
- Expert Jiten Jain of Voyager Infosec explained the eMudhra issue is a trust incident in the certification ecosystem, not a data leak.
- eMudhra said some certificates issued by intermediaries had weak algorithms that could be exploited via AI to break cryptographic keys, potentially allowing forged certificates.
- Forged certificates could let attackers host fake websites resembling real ones (e.g., Google, Facebook) to harvest usernames and passwords.
- Jain compared it to a cloned biometric ID granting fake access to a real identity system.
- Advice given to viewers: update software, enable multi-factor authentication, be cautious with unexpected emails/calls, and back up data regularly.
