191 million US voters found on internet

Independent computer security expert Chris Vickery of Austin, Texas found a database on the Internet that contains information on 191 million American voters.

As Vickery told Forbes magazine, among other things, this database contains the names, addresses, dates of birth, membership in political parties, telephone numbers and email addresses of US citizens. However, it lacks any financial information and social security card numbers (SSC).

According to Vickery, he discovered this source of information by chance, and it took him about a day to download the database. The expert says that he does not know who manages the database created in 2000. This is to be determined by law enforcement agencies in order to remove information from public access.

Expert Chris Vickery also said that he had verified information about himself that is listed in the Texas database and that it was correct. Like the data of several police officers, who also entered to check Vickery.

There is a high probability that the database found by a specialist from Austin may contain information about all registered American voters.

Legal regulations on the protection of personal data of American voters differ from state to state, and the laws of some territorial units do not impose restrictions on the dissemination of this information.
