NRIC numbers may not be secure enough for authentication purposes, but how will companies adapt?
Publicly available NRIC numbers can lead to unintended challenges with compliance and data breaches
NATIONAL Registration Identity Card (NRIC) numbers may not be secure enough to authenticate transactions, but making the full numbers publicly available may lead to unintended consequences.
On Saturday (Dec 14), the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) announced that the government will view NRIC numbers as public information, instead of being private and confidential as they currently are.
The government is also planning to stop the practice of masking NRIC numbers as this provides a false sense of security.
