Investigation confirms theft of 2.7M digital ID records in Pakistan

2024-11-29  Per Henrikson

NADRA, which protects millions of Pakistanis'; personal information, is under scrutiny following the exposure of a large data breach. The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Interior has been informed that over four years (2019-2023), data for 2.7 million Pakistanis had been stolen, prompting dismissals of implicated NADRA officials. Reports indicate that at least some of the data was sold internationally.
