· Technology · NDTV
Cybersecurity experts are calling for increased oversight and accountability from eMudhra and the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) after a security vulnerability was identified within the company's systems. The CCA is the regulatory body responsible for receiving and reviewing audit reports from certifying authorities like eMudhra. Critics argue that the current audit framework requires more rigorous scrutiny to prevent potential data risks. The specific details regarding the nature of the security lapse and the timeline for remediation have not been publicly disclosed. Authorities have yet to confirm if any sensitive data was compromised during the incident.
