The Federalist’s full report framed the breach as evidence of a \"major vulnerability in the voting system and 2020 election that Democrats and the corporate press have persistently maintained was the most secure in history.\" The outlet quoted an administration official who said the hacker admitted to the crime and expressed regret, but noted that no ballots or registrations were changed.","The digests from ussanews.com, Geller Report, The Daily Caller, Conservative Review, and The Epoch Times all highlighted the scale of the breach and the prosecutors’ inaction. ussanews.com described the refusal to prosecute as evidence of the \"contempt and loathing the Democrat party has for the American voter.\" Geller Report noted the hacker’s use of a PowerShell script and the seizure of evidence from his home. The Daily Caller and The Epoch Times both emphasised the timing of the breach, which occurred just before the 2020 presidential election.","The Federalist’s report included a direct quote from an administration official describing the hacker as a \"hobbyist\" who exploited a front-end vulnerability with no security. The outlet also noted that former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Chris Krebs was briefed on the breach but did not publicly address it.
