A leading US supplier of voting machines suffered from a data breach incident that exposed the personal information of more than 1.8 million Illinois residents.

The exposed data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, partial Social Security numbers, and party affiliations of over a million Chicago residents.

Some driver’s licenses and state ID numbers were also exposed.

ES&S was notified and the FBI investigated the incident and secured the system.
