FBI warns that hackers are targeting state election systems

An FBI alert warning election officials about the breach was leaked, and it was posted in a report by Yahoo News. Voter registration databases from both Illinois and Arizona were targeted in the hacks. The FBI declined to comment on the matter, but it’s already investigating a high-profile data breach against the Democratic National Committee. It’s unclear if the hacking of the state election databases is linked with Russia or any of the other recent breaches linked with this years presidential election. The hackers then exploited a common attack point in websites to steal the data, the FBI said.”]
