The leak itself is being blamed on Elector, an application used by Likud, the Shas and Yisrael Beiteinu parties, as well as by some parties abroad, to manage their election campaigns. As first reported by Israeli investigative website Seventh Eye, which focuses on the media industry, the Elector app's webpage was improperly coded, granting administrator access to the databases stored by the application.

According to a petition filed last week, the Likud Party had created a database of all registered Israeli voters using its access to the official Central Elections Committee (CEC) voter registry, and then shared that database with its supporters via the Elector app.

Included in the database was not only the voter registry information—including ID numbers, full names and home addresses—of almost 6.5 million eligible Israeli voters, but also much more detailed information on tens of thousands of Likud supporters, on whom Likud volunteers had collected additional details over the past month, which they added to the database, according to Calcalist.
