Plenty of voter data is public in Arizona - but Social Security numbers and DoBs are supposed to be kept confidential.

The security issue comes to light amid attacks targeting voters and voter data.

Netenrich added although this particular breach is associated with the Trump campaign, neither political party is effectively protecting voter data.

The Vote Joe app allows users to share data about themselves and their contacts with a voter database run by Target Smart.

The App Analyst noted at the time that "An issue occurs when the contact in the phone does not correspond with the voter, but the data continues to enrich the voter database entry. By adding fake contacts to the device, a user is able to sync these with real voters." The issue is now resolved.
