Over 630,000 Arizona Voter Records Accessed in 2020 Hack; No Charges Were Filed

  • In 2020, a hacker accessed 633,000 voter records from Maricopa County's voter registration system using a website vulnerability shortly before the election, including 930 files containing sensitive, non-public information such as data on domestic violence victims, judges, and law enforcement officers.
  • The suspect confessed to federal investigators, admitting to discovering the vulnerability, storing the data at home, and destroying it prior to an FBI raid; he expressed remorse and had no intent to sell the data.
  • Despite the confession and substantial evidence, the U.S. Attorney's Office for Arizona, the Arizona Attorney General, and county prosecutors declined to file charges against the suspect.
  • Officials stated that no ballots or voter registrations were altered during the incident, and investigators concluded the hacker acted alone, with no indication of foreign involvement; the FBI thoroughly investigated and closed the case in 2023.
