quote:

I'm Chris Vickery. I know your phone number, address, date of birth, and more (if you're registered to vote in the US).

I have recently downloaded voter registration records for 191 million Americans from a leaky database. I believe this is every registered voter in the entire country. To be very clear, this was not a hack.

The mysterious, insecure database is currently configured for public access. No password or other authentication is required at all. Anyone with an internet connection can grab all 300+ gigabytes.

We're talking about first name, middle name, last name, home address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, party affiliation, and logs of whether or not you voted in primary/general elections all the way back to 2000. I looked myself up in the Texas table. It's accurate.

It is not known whether or not "high risk professionals" are included in this database. However, I have looked up several police officers in my city, and their data is indeed present.

I've been working with journalists and authorities for over a week to get this database shut down or secured. No luck so far.

If you care to read their bullshit. I don't know why they bother trying poo poo like this. The people who use adblock are smart enough to look for a work around once something like this pops up.

A few years ago my rear end in a top hat brother-in-law replied-all to a reply I made on a nasty email he wrote and said "And I know you secretly voted for Obama!"

Yes the horrible secret that I have been hiding from the family, you figured out that your pro-gun control, pro-choice, liberal, openly gay brother-in-law voted for Obama.

You obviously know nothing about "the web". His point is that it's public access so anyone can access it right the gently caress now. He's the only guy we know has accessed it, but there is no doubt there are others.

I get that, but it isn't like anyone can go to https://www.voterinfo.com and query your info. Someone can have my name, DOB, and long dead phone/address info, I don't care at all.

The database just says if you voted in a given election or not (ie did they cross your name off). It doesn't reveal who you voted for. Way to out yourself for nothing!
