Michigan's Department of State denied on Tuesday it had been the victim of a data breach after voter information that was clearly stolen from somewhere surfaced on a platform used by Russian hackers.
Amusingly, the hackers who "Stole" this data managed to use it to win a "Reward" from the Trump State Department.
Obviously, somebody screwed up here: Either the data was stolen and the State of Michigan is lying, or this really was a scam, and the hackers managed to successfully take advantage of Democrats' hysterical demands for 'evidence' of more Russian electoral interference.
Russian journalists have discovered data from Michigan voter data rolls-including the personal info of 7.6 million Michigan voters-on a Russian hackers' platform.
Julia Ioffe September 1, 2020 One hacker wrote in the dark web forum that they managed to get $4,000 from the State Department.
On the other hand, acknowledging that these types of incidents simply aren't that alarming would be tantamount to crumpling up the Russian collusion narrative and tossing it into the rubbish bin.
Oddly, the report about the mysterious Michigan voter rolls data has apparently been overshadowed by the latest leak purporting to expose skulduggery by senior members of the Trump Administration.
