From this article at ZDnet, SD voter data along with voter data from 18 other states, is being sold in hacker forums for $2,500. I’m not actually sure if voter data are public records in SD or not. I would at least expect there would be controls on who could access the data.

Thune hosts cyber-security hearing at DSU
Senator Thune hosted a field hearing on the topic of cyber-security at Dakota State University. You can read all about it at KELOLAND.com. I’m happy to see that Sen. Thune is seeking input from industry experts in an open forum. Hopefully that information will aid in the crafting of sensible cyber-security legislation. Kudos to Sen Thune for this.
Unfortunately, Senator Thune still used to opportunity to promote CISA, the cyber-security legislation that was crafted absent public input in closed door sessions of the Senate Intelligence Committee. If you don’t recall, CISA could actually make us less secure.
