As one commenter questioned... Who's Database was it? Gun ownership, religion and other details for millions leaked by unsecured voter databaseBy Andrew Blake - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 23, 2016 A voter database containing personal details pertaining to 154 million Americans was publicly accessible on the internet for at least two months and may have been accessed from abroad, a security researcher said Thursday. Among the sensitive information included in the exposed database were names, addresses and political affiliations in addition to an undisclosed number of records containing email addresses and Facebook profiles, as well as whether or not the person owned a gun, Daily Dot reported. Chris Vickery of MacKeeper Security Research said he stumbled upon the sensitive cache recently after discovering that a database was being hosted by Google on the internet without any safeguards in place to restrict access, such as requiring a username and password. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jun/23/gun-ownership-religion-and-other-details-millions-/
