In a recent and concerning development, the District of Columbia Board of Elections (DCBOE) has uncovered a significant data breach that puts the personal information of its entire voting population at risk.
The breach was brought to light after stolen voter data was found for sale on an online forum earlier this month. At first, the DCBOE believed that 600,000 lines of voter data were involved in the breach. However, the DCBOE recently revealed that the breached database contained a complete copy of the voter roll, including highly sensitive details such as Social Security numbers, driver license numbers, phone numbers, and more.
