191 Million Voter Records Were Unprotected

In what is being called the biggest data breach of 2015, a database of 191 million voter records was  left unprotected for more than a week. Although the records did not include social security numbers or driver’s license numbers, the misconfigured database did include voter names, birthdates, email and snail mail addresses, telephone numbers, party affiliations, and state voter IDs.
