Today, the D.C. BOE issued a revised statement that seems consistent with what was originally claimed by ransomedvc:

Washington, D.C.— The District of Columbia Board of Elections (DCBOE) provides the following update on the voter data breach:
On Friday, October 20, during a daily morning check-in call with DataNet Systems, DCBOE learned that:

• DataNet Systems’ breached database server did contain a copy of the DCBOE’s voter roll. 
  
• DataNet Systems confirmed that bad actors MAY have had access to the full voter roll which includes personal identifiable information (PII) including partial social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, and contact information such as phone numbers and email addresses.
  
• DataNet Systems could not pinpoint if or when this file may have been accessed or how many, if any, voter records were accessed.
  

Out of an abundance of caution, DCBOE will reach out to all registered voters. In addition, DCBOE will be engaging with Mandiant, a cybersecurity consulting firm, to assist with next steps.

Is voter registration compulsory in the United States? This is very scary if so, and marginally less scary if not.

Yes, it's compulsory if you want to be able to vote. And to make things worse from a privacy standpoint, voter registration rolls are publicly available for most states, although the states vary in terms of exactly what data they make public about each voter. 

In this case, it looks like some of the data that was NOT supposed to be made public was also acquired by the individual(s) who gained access to the data.
