DC elections agency warns entire voting roll may have been stolen

The US Capitol’s election agency says a ransomware crew might have stolen its entire voter roll, which includes the personal information of all registered voters in the District of Columbia. The DC Board of Elections (DCBOE) first became aware of the intrusion on October 5, when a criminal gang called RansomVC claimed to have broken into a server belonging to DataNet Systems, the agency’s website hosting provider, and accessed 600,000 items of US voter data including DC voter records.
