The US authorities are very concerned about the possibility of hackers from Russia in the upcoming elections. At the same time, they admit that this option is currently a “hypothetical” character, CNN reports with reference to officials.
According to officials, Russia in revenge for the actions of the West due to a conflict in Ukraine could conduct a simple cyber attack. It can significantly strengthen the distrust of the electoral system and contradictions in American society. “At the moment, officials argue that this scenario is hypothetical. Hacker from Russia could hack one of the many local voter registration systems,” the publication noted.
