Report: Russians hacked US voting systems maker just before election
The Hill ^ | 6/05/17 | Joe Uchill

Posted on 06/05/2017 5:18:45 PM PDT by blueyon

Russian intelligence agents hacked a U.S. voting systems manufacturer in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, according to a National Security Agency investigation report leaked to The Intercept.

The Intercept reported Monday that the NSA believes hackers used that breach to obtain information used to spearphish its customers.

The report, marked top secret and only to be shared with the "Five Eyes" nations (Canada, Britain, New Zealand and Australia), claims the Russian intelligence agency GRU targeted more than 120 email addresses associated with local government organizations, which it speculates were taken from the earlier hack.

My take...The left in the govt will do anything to create this story (documents and all) to take Trump down...I would think Comey must be in on it. Why else would this story come out now (before he testifies) The left plants stories as I remember at special times. Also remember someone in Obama admin did try to hack a few voter roles before election.......wonder if connected...this is just my conspiracy theory thinking out loud

This is the news agency she supposedly spilled the docs to.

If they DID hack the maker, what’s that got to do with their machines?

Yes, and the leaked report does not assert what this headline does.

Now, they build a framework on how this was ‘done.’ Next comes the ‘why,’ but as the scope gets larger, the actual facts will become more and more cloudy.

How does one “hack” machines that aren’t connected to the Internet?

The Obama administration tried to hack the Georgia voting rolls but were caught. Let’s have an investigation of that!

Locally. It can be done. As you note though, that question and possibility are a hosrse of a different color from the unproven contentions in the classified NSA report.

This classified NSA report smells like the NSA contribution to the ODNI report from early January, the Obama admin/public "Russians did it" report.

Didn’t happen.

But even if it did, who is to say it wasn’t for Cankles?

More #fakenews.

Just to be clear, no claim is being made here that actual voting machines were hacked, or that vote counting was compromised, just that a voting machine manufacturer had it computer system hacked, and some data stolen. Is the allegation true? It’s certainly possible. If true, I doubt Russia is alone in trying to gain sensitive data such as this. Did this effect the outcome of the election? Doubtful. Is this proof of collusion with Trump? Hell no.

Does anyone else think this might be a setup by the Trump administration? Send out some false Russia info and see where it leads.

No voting machines were linked to internet. Can’t hack a paper ballot. Trump isn’t worried neither am I. Trump has the goods on Comey.
