As I said in the other thread, this is all public data from various sources (except the modeling). It will be fully filled out.
It's very common for political orgs to have the entire voter file for the US (or be able to query it using SQL)
- gr3yh47 9y agoits the aggregation and easily searchable format for 2/3 of citizens that makes this REALLY dangerous for identity theft. they were still grossly irresponsible. no consequences will happen though.
- DannyBee 9y agoIt's already aggregated and easily searchable. Seriously. You could, in the next 10 minutes, go purchase a national voter file with all this info on 190 million plus voters. Just Google "national voter file purchase". Those are pre-aggregated, and honestly, really cheap (Usually ~2k). You can also aggregate it yourself for less if you want.

- notheguyouthink 9y agoPardon my ignorance, what is the key data in this leak for identity theft? Eg, I didn't see anything really nasty like SSN, so what makes it easy for identity theft? (not disagreeing, rather I'm seeking information)
