Russian Hackers Attack US Electoral Networks by Austeen007(m): 4:09pm On Oct 30, 2020 |
The US secret services have been observing attacks on government computers in the states and municipalities since September. They suspect that the goal is to influence the presidential election – or the political debate afterward. Russian hackers have been attempting a broad-based attack since September to break into the computers and networks of American authorities with a view to the upcoming presidential election. As the Federal Police FBI and the Ministry of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency (Cisa) announced on Friday night, dozens of attacks were directed against government institutions in states and municipalities as well as networks in the aviation industry. They started out from “state-supported” groups, namely a hacker group known as the Berserk Bear or Dragonfly 2.0. According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, these hackers are also behind an attack on the networks of German energy companies and power grid operators and are said to have carried out similar attacks in the USA.
