Mexico election hack: Political party behind leak of 93.4 million voter records?

Mexican election officials probing the leak of a database containing over 90 million voter registration records have indicated one of the main political parties in the country may have played a part in its release. While authorities claim to have identified the source of the leak, they have so far refused to name the suspected culprit.

Lorenzo Cordova Vianello, president of the Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE), a body which oversees the elections in Mexico, said that under Mexican law his organisation is forced to share copies of the national voter list with political parties which has raised suspicions one of them leaked the data. "The fact that this database [was] published to the public, it is not just a criminal offence, it is a national offence," he told Scientific American.
