A breach in the campaign management app of Israel’s ruling Likud Party laid bare the country’s voting registrar’s database and exposed lacking regulation.
Quote:What Netanyahu didn’t know—what came to light only on Sunday—was that he was shepherding Likud activists toward a serious security breach, one of the worst exposed in Israel in recent years. Elector’s system received access to a huge database from the Israeli voters' registrar—ID numbers, full names, home addresses, and phone numbers—of almost 6.5 million Israelis that are eligible to vote in the upcoming election on March 2. For several tens of thousands of Likud supporters, the damage is much worse, as Likud volunteers worked for the last month or so to collect additional details on them.
