Major cyberattack exposes UK voter data for over a year

Hackers accessed servers of UK's Electoral Commission starting in August 2021.
Breach went undetected until October 2022; full extent of accessed data still unknown.
Voter registration information, internal emails, and control systems were compromised.
Names, addresses, phone numbers, and images of 40 million UK voters from 2014-2022 potentially exposed.
Event raises concerns about election security, though no evidence of disrupted democratic processes.
