After a hacker exfiltrated the data of 633,000 Maricopa County, Arizona, voter records in 2020, zero prosecutors at any level of government would prosecute despite urging from the FBI.

Documents released Thursday morning by the White House Government Transparency Task Force detail the massive data breach, an investigation by the FBI, a suspect who admitted to the crime, and a years-long attempt by the FBI to get someone to prosecute, only to close the case due to a lack of prosecutor interest.

“The suspect, perhaps to the chagrin of his attorney, admitted to all of the conduct involved, including that he noticed the vulnerability for quite some time. He considered himself a hobbyist hacker, that in the fall and spring he began looking for ways to exploit the site,” an administration official said on a Wednesday call with reporters. “He ultimately believes that over the course of a period of time, he extracted 1 million to 2 million voter registration records, and then he stored them in four gigabytes on his hard drive.”
