U.S. Voter Databases Offered for Free on Dark Web, Report

Personal information for several million American voters has turned up on a Russian underground cybercrime forum, according to reports. The personal information includes names, dates of birth, gender, physical addresses and email addresses, and election-specific data. Users are purportedly looking to monetize it using a recently launched State Department program meant to prevent election-meddling. Security firm Infowatch confirmed that the databases seem authentic and that the information could be used to mount influence campaigns bent on swaying U.S. voters.
