I think saving grace is our biometric has not been stolen. Everyone must lock their biometrics with info below.
Visit: https://resident.uidai.gov.in/biometric-lock. Here you will have to enter your Aadhaar number along with your security code. This code will is generated using a one-time password (OTP), which is sent to your registered mobile number. Use this OTP to login and enter another security key to lock the biometrics.
After you lock your biometrics, you will not be able to complete any biometric-based authentication but it secures your biometric information from potential misuse.
For authentication when needed, you can unlock your biometrics through the same process that is described above.
The unlock option results in temporarily unlocking the biometrics, which leaves it usable for a period of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, it will automatically get locked again. more
