BREAKING: CEO of US election software firm Konnech arrested for storing data on servers in China
The Post Millennial, Oct 4, 2022

Eugene Yu, the CEO of the software firm Konnech, has been arrested in connection to the storage of data on servers in China.

It was on Monday that The New York Times ran an article claiming that "election deniers" had made Konnech the center of a "conspiracy theory." The article claimed that these "election deniers" had used "threadbare evidence" to suggest that Konnech "had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government back door access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States."

The Times claimed that these allegations against Konnech "demonstrate how far-right election deniers are also giving more attention to new and more secondary companies and groups."

Konnech, based in Michigan, had been contracted by Los Angeles County, and Allen County, Indiana, to work on "election logistics, such as scheduling poll workers."

"Konnech," the Times stated, "said none of the accusations were true. It said that all the data for its American customers were stored on services in the United States and that it had no ties to the Chinese government."

The Times lameneted the damage done to Konnech's reputation by these "election deniers" who claimed that the company had ties to the CCP.

On Tuesday, the Times had to write that Yu had been arrested, and that data collected by Konnech had indeed been stored on servers in China. True the Vote, an election integrity not-for-profit, stated that they were able to download the personal information of some 1.8 million poll workers from Konnech servers in China. True the Vote passed this information on to the FBI.

The company itself appears to be standing by Yu, and continues to blame election deniers for harming the company's reputation. A spokesman for Konnech told the Times that Konnech had handed over all poll worker data to the county, and that it "therefore could not have been 'stolen' as suggested."

However, the Times reports that "The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said in an emailed statement that it had cause to believe that personal information on election workers was 'criminally mishandled.'"
