18 Million Targeted Voter Records Exposed By Database Error (csoonline.com)

itwbennett writes: Last week, a database containing 191 million voter records was exposed because of a misconfigured database that no on wants to claim ownership of. Around the same time, a second, smaller database containing fewer than 57 million records similar to those previously discovered was also found by researcher Chris Vickery. But the second database also includes 18 million records that hold targeted demographic information. And as was the case with the previous voter database, no one wants to claim ownership.

Well then... rm -rf "no one" will care right? by Anonymous Coward · 2016-01-04 09:25 · Score: 0, Funny

drop table * * (yes, I'm not a DBA), or cd / and sudo root, rm -rf (but I am a sys admin) and wait a few minutes. "no one owns it," so then, "No one will care or miss it, right?"
