Alaska Voter Database was Hacked Into with Over 100,000 Voters Information Stolen

According to State officials, more than 100,000 Alaskan voters information was stolen including birth dates and driver’s license numbers.

In a prepared statement officials said, the hackers gained unauthorized access to the states online voter registration system which was built and maintained by a contractor and operated by the Alaska Division of Elections.

Alaska Public Media reports:

Republican Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer, who supervises Alaska’s election system, learned of the hack Oct. 27, his office said in the statement.

“I have some sad news. The state of Alaska was the victim of data exposure by outside actors,” Meyer said at a news conference Thursday. While personal information was exposed, he added, “No other election systems or data were affected.”

Officials said the flaw that exposed the data has been fixed, and Alaskans’ information is now secure, but it’s still not known exactly which records were stolen.

The exposed data includes names, birth dates, driver’s license numbers, addresses, party affiliations, and the last four digits of social security numbers.

It does not go beyond that, Cori Mills, chief assistant attorney general, said at the news conference.

“We looked, we didn’t find any increase in identity theft,” she said. “And in addition, the information here doesn’t involved credit card information — it doesn’t involve any economic information.”

According to the states preliminary investigation, “outside actors” exploited a flaw that allowed them to exfiltrate voter information. They tried to infiltrate the system in other ways but security controls worked and rebuffed them.

The investigation confirms that voter data was stolen, but that it was not altered.
