Photograph: ANI Photo In a statement, the Union health ministry also said that an internal exercise has been initiated to review the existing security measures. "With reference to some alleged CoWIN data breaches reported on social media...the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) immediately responded and it does not appear that the CoWin app or database has been directly breached," said Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Union minister of state for electronics and information technology.
