Federal agent raid Maricopa home, get USB and HDD.

"On the morning of November 5, as the 2020 election hung in the balance, Arizona federal agents raided a two-story house in Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, a county that had become a key battleground in the presidential race. The agents were looking for evidence of a cyberattack on an unnamed organization and stolen voter data. They left with eight hard drives, three computers and a bag of USB sticks. The resident of the property, a 56-year-old IT expert named Elliot Kerwin, was served the warrant. He is not yet facing charges and was unreachable for comment at the time of publication. There is no indication that anything other than voters’ information, which can be acquired for a few hundred dollars in Arizona counties, was taken from the affected office."

It was just one paragraph.

I admit it might have been easier to read had it been two or perhaps three so I'll clip the and post the last paragraph and ask politely will you please read it at least once and slowly so as to not miss the part about which entity he hacked into?
...There is no indication that anything other than voters’ information, which can be acquired for a few hundred dollars in Arizona counties, was taken from the affected office."
A reasonable person would ask why anyone would hack into a system and risk prison when they could acquire the information for 'a few hundred dollars?'
You people.
