FASTag security breach exposes critical vulnerability in India's toll system. A Mumbai resident discovered his vehicle's FASTag was deactivated and replaced without authorization while being transported from Mumbai to Delhi. The transporter's driver allegedly activated a new tag using different credentials, with no OTP verification or owner consent required. The incident reveals a significant loophole where vehicle owners lose control once a new FASTag is registered, while fraudsters retain full authority. Customer support confirmed only the person who activated the tag can request deactivation, leaving legitimate owners powerless. This security flaw raises serious concerns about financial fraud and unauthorized toll charges on India's highway infrastructure.
