Episode: Elliot Alderson on Aarogya Setu Privacy Issue, Aadhaar, His Modus Operandi and Philosophy as an Ethical Hacker
Description: Baptiste Robert (aka Elliot Alderson aka @fs0c131y) has developed somewhat of a cult personality and following in India i.e. ever since he flagged data security and privacy issues within COVID-19 contact tracing Aarogya Setu app and the much wider Aadhaar ecosystem. Â
We catch up with Baptiste to learn his take on the Government's tricky relationship with citizens' data, the philosophy (and process) behind his work as an ethical hacker, and his thoughts on the privacy debate raging within India and the world.
We definitely enjoyed having a conversation on this much important subject.Â
