App Used by Israel’s Ruling Party Leaked Personal Data of All 6.5 Million Voters

An election campaigning website operated by Likud, the ruling political party of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, exposed personal information of 6.5 million eligible Israeli voters. The exposed database includes the full names, identity card numbers, addresses, and gender of 6,453,254 voters in Israel, as well as the phone numbers, father’s name, mother’s name and other personal details of some of them. The incident occurred due to negligence by the software company who leaked the username and password for the administrative panel through an unprotected API endpoint that was listed in the public source code of its homepage.
