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.

  • Over 600,000 voter files were hacked in Maricopa County, Arizona, before the 2020 elections, but prosecutors declined to file charges, according to declassified documents released Thursday.
  • The hack involved the illegal extraction of 633,000 voter records, including 930 with sensitive information, from Maricopa County's voter registration site using a PowerShell script.
  • The FBI investigated and referred the case to multiple Arizona attorney offices, all of which declined to prosecute, leading to the case being closed in 2023.
  • The suspect confessed to exploiting a vulnerability, storing data at home and in a Google Cloud account, expressed remorse, destroyed files before an FBI raid, and investigations found no foreign involvement or altered ballots.
