WikiLeaks on Friday published reports that suggested the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is using technology provider Cross Match Technologies to discreetly extract Aadhaar data. WikiLeaks published documents' claimed that CIA used ExpressLane - a cyber tool devised by Cross match Technologies for online spying. "Have CIA spies already stolen #India's national ID card database?," tweeted WikiLeaks along with an article attached. However, the Supreme Court refused to pass any interim order against the Central government notification for making Aadhaar mandatory. The Supreme Court was hearing a petition that said making Aadhaar compulsory would violate the right to privacy of an individual.
