The data set was first spotted by Under the Breach, a data breach monitoring and prevention service.
The CEC denied it yesterday, saying that it doesn't capture some of the data included in the dump - including that of dead people.
The CEC said that it didn't process the data published on the non-named hacker forum and that the database differs from what the election administration has access to, including in terms of data, format and database structure.
Finally, data verification has shown that the personal numbers and addresses of the data published on the forum don't match those in the CEC voter database, the commission said.
Under the Breach shared the data with ZDNet, which communicated with one of the people who shared the data on the forums.
