In the early evening of June 12th, UpGuard Cyber Risk Analyst Chris Vickery discovered an open cloud repository while searching for misconfigured data sources on behalf of the Cyber Risk Team, a research unit of UpGuard devoted to finding, securing, and raising public awareness of such exposures. The data repository, an Amazon Web Services S3 bucket, lacked any protection against access. As such, anyone with an internet connection could have accessed the Republican data operation used to power Donald Trump’s presidential victory, simply by navigating to a six-character Amazon subdomain: “dra-dw”.

...the personal information of potentially near all of America’s 200 million registered voters was exposed, including names, dates of birth, home addresses, phone numbers, and voter registration details, as well as data described as “modeled” voter ethnicities and religions.

Also found was a large cache of Reddit posts, saved as text

Almost like you should hire a professional who knows what they're doing.

Still can't find a real source for this. I want to believe it, but if it's true then why aren't any major news outlets reporting it?

I (Butters) am not one of them (conservatrolls and Trumpanzees). I'm just skeptical because I've gotten tired of fake news getting my hopes about the GOP being implicated. I mean, how many times has that one left-wing biased site thinkprogress.org reported something about Ryan and/or McConnell being caught in a scandal only for nothing to happen to them? How can I be sure that this is any different?
