[kictanet] Philippines voter hack: election data breach is 'freaking huge'

[Wangari Kabiru]

Happy Thursday!

Na iliwe funzo kwetu!

Downplaying this e-breach is illegal and immoral.

A lot of citizen information is in custody of government agencies that potentially puts law abiding gullible citizens into the hands of the physical terror; from impersonators, bank online thieves, house breakers and your child thieves.

Even if this specific scenario wasn't true, the reality is that, anything created by man may be 'uncreated'. The safeguards is another industry created.

Blessed day.

Regards/Wangari
