A massive database of Mexican voter records was made publicly accessible on the internet, a US security researcher has discovered. The names, addresses, dates of birth and voter ID numbers of 87 million Mexicans appeared to be listed in the cache.

It was discovered by Chris Vickery, who had been browsing unsecured databases, with a security tool called Shodan.

The voter data has since been taken offline.
