Well, this is certainly going to encourage more people to register to vote.

Accessed data includes voters’ names, addresses, and nonpublic voter information

According to the notice, the personal data accessed by the hackers includes names, email addresses and postal addresses, phone numbers 🖍️ and any correspondence that voters had with the Commission, including emails (more on that below). Voters registered to vote anonymously are not affected by the cyberattack, the Commission confirmed.

The compromised data does, however, include information on voters who opted out of having their information published in the public voter registers, which are available to anyone wanting to purchase.

40 million. The population is 70 million, so that’s most, it not all eligible voters. Wow.
