its 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.
- j88439h84 9y agoAre you saying there's a $2k national voter file? Where?

- 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)
