If  you're thinking of trying to bid on or buy what was listed as 600k lines of registered D.C. voters' records, read this:

Quote:On October 6, DataBreaches reported a breach allegedly containing more than 600,000 lines of data on registered voters in D.C., where, according to the threat actors who listed it [RansomedVC], each line represented one voter’s records.

Although there may have been 600k lines of data as previously reported, the D.C. Board of Elections released a statement on October 16 stating that so far, their preliminary forensic investigation in conjunction with the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC)  indicates that there were fewer than 4,000 registered voters from D.C. The data records are from August 9, 2019 to January 25, 2022 and contain information from voters who participated in DCBOE’s canvass process, which is conducted every oddnumbered year to ensure the voter roll is up-to-date.

It's not clear yet where the other voter records or data might be from if not from registered D.C. voters, but maybe we'll find out in the election board's next update.

I'm posting an update from the DC BOE which was just emailed to me -- they have revised their estimate and the original claims by ransomedvc may be accurate.   See the new post.
