FBI: Common scanning tools used to target state election systems

An FBI memo citing information released by MS-ISAC (Multi-State Information Sharing Analysis Center) says that foreign actors are using common scanning tools to locate vulnerable election systems. There is evidence to suggest, but not conclusively prove, that at least two incidents are connected to these scans. While the targeted election websites are not named, evidence suggests that the memo is referencing the incidents in Illinois and Arizona. While speculation is that a foreign actor has been targeting the voter databases, none of the recorded IP addresses discovered after the attacks are conclusive proof of such theory.”]
