The personal information of some voters was revealed when they logged in to vote for the Oscars of the comic book industry, which will be announced Friday
the reason voting had been suspended was that personal data from voters had been inadvertently revealed, as discovered by the MG-BIPOC in Comics Discord channel, an online community she belongs to. "On Wednesday, June 17, a member of the [MG-BIPOC in Comics Discord channel], Joamette Gil, reminded us to vote for the Eisners. When some of us went to the website, we realized that after we logged in, the website would greet us by name — except the name it greeted us with wasn't our own.
Gerlach, according to Cruz, responded by saying that "a few accounts were cross linked," an explanation he had to librarian Eric Carpenter, when Carpenter had noticed the same problem, according to a screenshot Carpenter posted on social media. Cruz and Carpenter were not the only ones to raise the issue with Comic-Con International, as it turned out; writer J.A. Micheline had discovered the problem days earlier, contacting Rick Gerlach on June 8, also receiving the "accounts were cross linked" response, as per emails reviewed by that Gerlach "claimed shortly thereafter [his initial response] that the issue was resolved, and directed me to create a new account .
Later that day, Cruz did indeed register a new account, only to discover that the problem has not been fixed. "Members of the Discord channel told me that they could see my personal information," Cruz explained. Further emails to Gerlach and Estrada went unanswered, and a day later, the website was closed.
When voting reopened on June 24, some voters received an email from organizers asking them to resubmit their votes. That email read, in part, "While our examination of the records leads us to believe the problem is small and we have no direct evidence that any votes have been altered, out of an abundance of caution and care we have decided to re-run the vote with a current and secure voting platform.
