AggregateIQ Created Cambridge Analytica's Election Software, and Heres the Proof
A little-known Canadian data firm ensnared in an international investigation into alleged wrongdoing during the Brexit campaign created an election software platform marketed by Cambridge Analytica, according to a batch of internal files obtained exclusively by Gizmodo.
Discovered by a security researcher last week, the files confirm that AggregateIQ, a British Columbia-based data firm, developed the technology Cambridge Analytica sold to clients for millions of dollars during the 2016 US presidential election. Hundreds if not thousands of pages of code, as well as detailed notes signed by AggregateIQ staff, wholly substantiate recent reports that Cambridge Analytica software platform was not of its own creation.
Whats more, the files reveal that AggregateIQalso known as AIQis the developer behind campaign apps created for Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, as well as a Ukrainian steel magnate named Serhiy Taruta, whos head the countrys newly formed Osnova party.
Other files show the firm once pitched an app to Breitbart News, the far-right website funded by hedge-fund billionaire Robert MercerCambridge Analyticas principal investorand are currently working for WPA Intelligence, a US-based political consultancy founded by noted Republican pollster Chris Wilson, chief of Cruzs digital strategy in 2016.
