Hacker Dumps Details of Florida Voter Database

 Rigged voting might be as old as US election systems themselves, so what happens when a hacker collects the voting database?

The AntiSec movement is definitely rolling along, Anonymous is pointing to a recent hack that could raise some serious questions over the integrity of voting in Florida. It seems that a hacker who uses Twitter obtained parts of the Florida voting database which has been subsequently posted to Paste2. It appears that the hacker in question wanted to show that voting fraud can easily happen today and dumped parts of the Florida database to prove it.

The content was posted to PasteBin (same content) while Abhaxas tweeted, “Who believes voting isn’t tampered with?”
It’s the latest in a long string of hacks since LulzSec was disbanded. Previously, the Arizona Polce Force had details leak about them not not once, not twice, but three times. In another leak, the AntiSec movement leaked details of Viacom and Universal Music along with content from various government servers.
This latest hack clearly demonstrates that Anonymous isn’t the only organization that is doing the hacking these days. One thing is for sure though, it’s hard to imagine that this would not have very big political implications.

This resent security breach is under investigation.
