Home » Potential voter privacy issues in Biden campaign app
New findings by The App Analyst reveal a privacy bug in Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's official campaign app.
According to The App Analyst, the bug allowed anyone to look up sensitive voter information on millions of Americans. The Vote Joe App is designed as an organization tool to help engage with voters. Users can sign up with an email and an address. Once the users complete this registration, they can use many of the app's features, including sending canned Joe Biden support texts and report information about their contacts - a practice called "relational organizing," where users sync their contacts or find a voter in the Vote Joe App voter database and report specific information about that contact or voter.
