Hackers may have access to information on millions of British voters: EC

Hackers may have information on tens of millions of British voters after they got access to electoral registers, the UK’s election watchdog said on Tuesday nearly a year after the breach was discovered.

The Electoral Commission apologized for the breach but said much of the information was already in the public domain and that the names and addresses of people who registered to vote between 2014 and 2022 was unlikely to be used by hostile actors to sway election results.
