Georgia county voter information leaked by ransomware gang

The DoppelPaymer ransomware gang has released unencrypted data stolen from Hall County, Georgia, during a cyberattack earlier this month. The leaked data includes 911 spreadsheets, election documents, lobby comment cards, and accounting and financial records. Most of the information released as part of this leak is public info, but the data can be used in targeted phishing attacks or even for voter intimidation. Last week, the US government disclosed that Iran was behind voter intimidation emails sent to Democrats in Florida and Alaska that pretended to be from the far-right Proud Boys.
