Cybercrime: Government databases contain a wealth of sensitive personal information, making them prime targets for hackers and cybercriminals. These malicious actors may attempt to access, steal, or manipulate data for financial gain, identity theft, or political motives.
Data Leaks: Even without malicious intent, data can be leaked due to system vulnerabilities, human error, or inadequate security protocols. Once personal information is exposed, it can lead to severe consequences for citizens, including financial loss and privacy violations.
Erosion of Public Trust: A significant data breach can cause the public to lose trust in the government's ability to protect their information. This can discourage citizens from using e-governance services, undermining the very purpose of the initiative.
