UK electoral commission hacked
(www.electoralcommission.org.uk)
I might be totally wrong here, but I always thought the info held by the electoral commission was public anyway?
Isn't this data used by debt collectors to find you?
Information on the open register is available.
Information on the closed register (people who have opted out) is restricted to legitimate uses, and more controlled.
Ah yes of course you can opt out
Why did it take 14 months to discover the breach? Why did it take 10 more months to disclose it? Absolute clowns.
Never in my life will I support digital voting.
This wasn't a hack on digital voting it was a breach of records for the electoral registers.

More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
