State election systems hacked The Associated Press
WASHINGTON | Hackers have
made their way into state election systems “in a few cases,” but the federal government hasn’t found “any manipulation” so far of voting information, the Homeland Security secretary said Saturday.
“
We must remain vigilant and continue to address the challenges head on. ” Jeh Johnson Homeland Security Secretary
Twenty-one states have contacted the agency for help in safeguarding their election systems, and Jeh Johnson is urging additional requests for cyber security assistance. A department official said on Friday that hackers have targeted the voter registration systems of more than 20 states in recent months. As the Nov. 8 vote nears, there
are heightened concerns that foreign hackers might undermine voter confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections. Federal officials and many cyber security experts have said it would be nearly impossible for hackers to alter an election’s outcome because election systems are decentralized and generally not connected to the internet. “We must remain vigilant and continue to address these challenges head on,” Johnson said. “These challenges aren’t just in the future. They are here today.” The FBI last month warned state officials of the need to improve their election security after hackers targeted systems in Illinois and Arizona. FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers this past week that the FBI is looking “very, very hard” at Russian hackers who may try to disrupt the U.S. election. Johnson said that in recent months, “malicious cyber actors
have been scanning a large number of state systems, which could be a preamble to attempted intrusions. In a few cases, we have determined that malicious actors gained access to state votingrelated systems. However, we are not aware at this time of any manipulation of data.” The FBI held a conference call on Friday with the local officials who run elections in Florida, according to a spokeswoman for Secretary of State Ken Detzner. A person who was on that call said authorities had seen evidence of someone probing a local elections website. Hackers also tried to mine data from the Arizona and Illinois voter registration systems, according to Kay Stimson, a spokeswoman for the National Association of Secretaries of State. In Illinois hackers got into the system, but didn’t manipulate any data.
