Israel's entire voter registration database - comprising close to 6.5 million people - was exposed to the internet because of an elementary coding flaw in an election application, according to an Israeli developer.

Bar-Zik, who was tipped off to the vulnerability by a source, also wrote a separate blog post describing the coding error.

The Likud Party uses Elector for outreach and interacting with voters, including sending SMS messages to voters, Bar-Zik writes.

Elector Software made several errors when designing the application, Bar-Zik writes.

Bar-Zik points out a Feb. 5 story in Calcalist.
