Declassified Docs Reveal over 600k Voter Files Hacked; Prosecutors Declined Prosecution

The files included names, birth dates and addresses, and about 930 records covered domestic violence victims, judges and law enforcement officers, officials said.

  • A hacker accessed and extracted 633,000 voter registration records from Maricopa County, Arizona, in 2020, including 930 records with sensitive information such as domestic violence victimization.
  • The breach involved exploiting website vulnerabilities to scrape data, exposing a significant security risk to the voting system, though no ballots were accessed or altered.
  • The FBI investigated extensively, identified a suspect who confessed to the hacking and expressed regret, but multiple prosecutors at various levels declined to pursue charges.
  • After efforts from 2021 to 2023 to find a prosecutor willing to bring charges, the case was closed without prosecution, and the White House requested information about the declinations.
