Nearly one million passports and driver's licenses from multiple countries were left unprotected online with zero password protection. Here's what happened.

    They really chose the domain ‘Cambridge Analytica’, named after the Facebook scandal?

      Is this not the exact same Cambridge Analytica? Wikipedia seems to say this is their domain.

        Their legal notice https://cambridgeanalytica.org/legal-notice/ says

        The website cambridgeanalytica.org is published by Vortexlab Digital Marketing, a digital media and research-oriented publishing company headquartered in:

        Dubai Silicon Oasis, DDP, Building A1
        Dubai, United Arab Emirates

        So it seems like they’re a separate thing, but it’s confusing.

        Wikipedia says:

        (Cambidge Analytica) closed operations in 2018 due to backlash from the data scandal
