NC: Possible cyberattack hits Wake election software vendor, leaving poll workers’ data exposed
Wake County Board of Elections suspended use of a software vendor after the vendor reported a possible cyberattack. County officials stated that voting machines, ballots, voter registration records, and vote-counting systems were not affected, though poll workers' data may have been exposed.
Why it matters: Election administrators and poll workers in Wake County and similar jurisdictions should verify whether their personal information was compromised and monitor their accounts for fraud. Practitioners should assess whether their election software vendors have adequate security controls and incident response plans.
