The FBI has uncovered evidence that foreign hackers penetrated two state election databases in recent weeks, prompting the bureau to warn election officials across the country to take new steps to enhance the security of their computer systems, according to federal and state law enforcement officials.
The FBI warning, contained in a “flash” alert from the FBI’s Cyber Division, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News, comes amid heightened concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about the possibility of cyberintrusions, potentially by Russian state-sponsored hackers, aimed at disrupting the November elections.
Those concerns prompted Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to convene a conference call with state election officials on Aug. 15, in which he offered his department’s help to make state voting systems more secure, including providing federal cyber security experts to scan for vulnerabilities, according to a “readout” of the call released by the department.

According to Odumbo, the ruskies are not a problem.
Think that's why there have been the stories about the DNC and all the other liberal groups getting hacked? To deflect liability from them. I can hear them now. "It wasn't us, we got hacked, too."
The liberals have already fingered the Russians as the hackers who leaked Hillary’s missing emails (something I still doubt is true) so if the Russians hack state election systems, it can only be - in liberal logic - that the Russians will rig the election for Donald Trump, otherwise the Left wouldn’t be reporting it and sending out alerts.
If anyone, including George Soros or the Chinese, were rigging the election for Hillary Clinton, you would never hear about it since it would not be new or news.
Remember 2004 when liberals began claiming that exit polls showing John Francois Kerry, who served in Vietnam, PROVED that Kerry should have won so, therefore, Bush and Diebold cheated to rig the election? Be prepared for any Trump win to be labelled “illegitimate” and “rigged” and clamor that their POLLS which showed Hillary winning should be given greater weight than the actual election returns.
Sending alerts like this is laying out the cover story for a Trump victory in November. There’s no other way to interpret this. And since cheaters think the only way somebody can beat them is by cheating, the liberals have to invent their own storyline as to how the election was “stolen” from them.
This and the HuffPo story about Trump winning because the election is now reality television are the best evidence yet that Trump is not way like the news media is trying to convince you is true.
So the DHS will offer help to provide federal cyber security experts to scan for vulnerabilities. The fix is in.
I wonder if she will tell him that she will have more ability to deal after the election like the Big Zero did?
Has the FBI indeed proved it’s the Russians? Or could it be someone else?
All she is doing is fund-raisers. I am guessing her need for so much money is for cash payments to some voters who may or may not be bussed to vote in multiple locations, since all of the MSM thinks she has the election all tied up already. Bribes to commit voter fraud en masse, IMHO.
We may need to make this (18) a thread under activisim
The media will blame Russia & claim “Putin stole the election” as part of a ploy to discredit a Trump win.
