SDM states that Students’ Data has been Leaked

data leak

A few minutes ago, SDM issued a Press Release stating that numerous University students have been receiving anonymous text messages and calls asking them who they intend to vote for in Thursday’s KSU Election and what they think about Pulse’s Proposals for Parking Problem within University.

SDM wrote that these surveys are being conducted by anonymous individuals with no clear idea as to whom is behind such surveys. Moreover, those students who have politely asked for a clarification as to who is conducting such survey and how did they manage to get their data were not given a reply. Some even stated that “the line went dead immediately after we asked”.

According to SDM’s Press Release, “University of Malta students have been receiving anonymous telephone calls over the past couple of hours and questioned; whether they heard about the Pulse Parking Optimisation Project and who will they vote for during next Thursday’s election.”

Many students are annoyed by the fact that their data has been leaked and being used for electoral purposes. Therefore, SDM asks: “Who is contacting these students? Where did the data come from? Where are these Surveys being held?”
SDM called upon the Electoral Commission to look into this with immediate effect and condemn such actions. SDM will be opening up its email address, info@sdm.org.mt for all those students that wish come forward with any information they might have. We will treat any information received with full confidentiality and anonymity.
SDM would like to make it clear that it has absolutely nothing to do with the current anonymous surveys that are being conducted and condemns such inappropriate and deceptive tactics, especially two days before such an election.
So far, Pulse have not published anything regarding this issue of anonymous surveys.
