Amidst concerns over data security and privacy, the Indian National
Congress has demanded a judicial probe into an alleged data breach in the
CoWIN portal. CoWIN is the government’s online platform for COVID-19
vaccination registration and management. The Congress party has expressed
apprehensions regarding the handling of sensitive personal information and
vaccination records, urging for a thorough investigation to determine the
extent of the breach, if any. This move by the Congress reflects the
growing importance of data protection and the need for stringent measures
to safeguard citizens’ information in the digital age.
