Why is a 22GB database containing 56 million US folks' personal details sitting on the open internet using a Chinese IP address? Seriously, why?

Because, the Clintons. That’s the usual answer for everything that is bad for the citizens.

Only 22 gigs? Impossibru. Maybe 22 petabytes.It works out to an average of about 420 characters per person, which is more than enough for their name, mailing address, phone, and e-mail.

If someone gets a computer file listing of Demonicrat Party members, that would encompass a lot of the traitors to the United States of America.

Why? Because they can.
Why did they rob the bank? Because that’s where the money is.
Why did they climb the mountain? Because it was there.
The moral of the story is self evident.

How else would those services work than to have info in a giant database?
If it’s so insecure, have the author go download us a copy.

“We have withheld further details for privacy protection reasons.”
uh, since that makes it impossible to verify that this supposedly open-to-the-public database even exists, how do we know that hacker “lynx” isn’t just making this up?

Illegal voting list?Our enemies have a vested interest in seeing a democrat elected... All they have to do is 'vote the people who don't show up to vote'... The FBI needs to see voter roles with fake names to see if someone is voting those people. Or non-people as the case may be...

Exclusive A database containing the personal details of 56.25m US residents – from names and home addresses to phone numbers and ages – has been found on the public internet, served from a computer with a Chinese IP address, bizarrely enough. May as well get used to it...There's no turning back now...
