The Real Strategy with PII and China

The article discusses the discovery of personal data belonging to 1.8 million U.S. poll workers on an unsecured MongoDB server in China.

The article discusses the discovery of personal data belonging to 1.8 million U.S. poll workers on an unsecured MongoDB server in China. The individuals responsible for placing the data on the server were not pursued by the FBI, but instead, Gregg Phillips, who discovered the data, was blamed for accessing it. The author speculates that the reason for this may be that the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) discovered in the data spill may be linked to the anonymous cell phone pings used in the "2000 Mules" movie, which showed patterns of life analysis for people who were visiting multiple ballot drop boxes on election night in 2020. The article raises questions about whether some of the poll workers whose data appeared on the server were involved in ballot trafficking and suggests that the focus should be on those responsible for placing the data on the server in the first place.
