Trending: US warns it will hack Russia's infrastructure if it interferes with the election
Last month, the US Intelligence Community blamed the Russia's government in a series of high-profile cyber attacks that were apparently aimed at influencing this week’s election. Now, American officials have warned that any attempt to interfere directly with the vote itself will result in a US raid on a key Russian system.
Quoting "a senior intelligence official with top secret documents," an NBC News report US military claims that hackers have already joined Russia's electrical grid, communications, and the Kremlin command system. The programs are in the event of a US attack that disrupts the elections "in a significant way."
Officials have said that they do not anticipate a full digital attack from agents acting on behalf of the Russian government, but they do expect some “cyber mischief,” such as the release of fake documents and other forms of misinformation. There are also concerns over a possible attempt to slow down Americans’ internet access on election day, which could, for example, result in some people being unable to search the web for directions to their nearest polling station.
The US cyberwarfare capabilities are unknown,though military officials often say they are the most advanced in the world. The threat of retaliation for election interference has reportedly been delivered to Russia through back channels.
Russia responded to the "unprecedented size" US warning of threats himself. A spokesman said, "is not such a strange, unpredictable line, we have to take steps to protect our interests, somehow Hedge risks....The unpredictability is dangerous for the whole world."

It's going to be an interesting week.
