This is a page from the website of the company which got breached, or rather, left records of 337,384 Maltese voters *unsecured* in a MySQL database file.

They said it was a 'mishap' and that the data was 'old'. As if that matters in any way.
What I find absolutely mind boggling is how a company that basically is a box pusher for Windows Cloud Services and "Smart Home" (read Google Home), and which can't even explain its services coherently is trusted with this kind of super sensitive voter data.
It's the march of the incompetents over and over here.
Who the hell hired them, and what kickback did they get, because there must be some consideration of this sort. Incompetence alone couldn't possibly be the only answer.
