Personal information for more than 198 million American voters were left exposed this month after a data analytics firm hired by the Republican National Committee stored the files on an unsecured Amazon server.
Deep Root Analytics, the conservative analytics firm, confirmed in a statement Monday the files had been accessed without their knowledge.
"The data that was accessed was, to the best of our knowledge this proprietary information as well as voter data that is publicly available and readily provided by state government offices," the company said in a statement. "Since this event has come to our attention, we have updated the access settings and put protocols in place to prevent further access. We take full responsibility for this situation."
