The U.K.Electoral Commission on Tuesday disclosed a complex cyber attack on its systems that went undetected for over a year.
The breach allowed threat actors to access years worth of voter data belonging to 40 million people.
The incident was identified in October 2022 after suspicious activity was detected on the systems.
It became clear that hostile actors had first accessed the systems in August 2021.
The intrusion enabled unauthorized access to the Commission’s servers.
However, they did not contain information of those who qualified to register anonymously and addresses of overseas electors registered outside the U. K. ELECTRICITY CERTIFICATION DEVELOPMENT SOCIAL STATEMENT ELECTORAL COMMISSION REGISTRATION NOTICE
