Correct, the entire Israeli census database has leaked and is now freely available for anyone who knows where to look for it.

I gave a short talk about this leak at 28c3 [1], if anyone's interested in more details.

It's outrageous that the data was leaked over such a long period so many times. The new biometric law is just laughing in the face of the citizens.


Similar census leaks occured in Turkey and Mexico as far as I can remember.

But this leak has classified info such as witness protection data.


Aren't censuses usually published?


This one had addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth.
