US official claims Russian Hackers Infiltrated voter systems in 2016 Presidential election
According to her, of about the 21 states targeted by Russians in the election, several were successfully penetrated.
She said: “We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated,” she said.
Although, she declined to reveal further details but said there was “no doubt” the Russian
government was behind the attacks.
Her comments came just days after the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson confirmed that hackers were already targeting the upcoming elections.
“I think it's important we just continue to say to Russia, ‘Look, you think we don't see what you're doing. We do see it and you need to stop. If you don't, you're going to just continue to invite consequences for yourself,’” Tillerson told Fox News.
