Newly released FBI records show that a hacker exploited a vulnerability in a Maricopa County website and extracted approximately 633,000 voter-registration records in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election, and that federal, state, and county prosecutors declined to bring charges. “The FBI confirmed that voter records were illegally extracted from the site and identified a suspect who admitted the crime,” Patel wrote. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office also declined and informed investigators that the Arizona Attorney General’s Office had declined the matter. The FBI then presented the case to the Pinal County Attorney’s Office, which also declined prosecution, according to the closure memorandum. The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined prosecution on July 12, 2021, according to reporting from Just the News, citing the FBI records.
