With election season looming in the UK and the EU, the company partnered with Constella Intelligenceto explore online threats to national security. The team focused on 2,279 politicians in the European Parliament, UK House of Commons, and the French National Assembly and Senate. They found a whopping 918 40% of the total have had information exposed on the dark web. To make matters worse, the email addresses were matched with 697 plain text passwords.
