FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issue joint warning of Kremlin hacking crew. FBI and CISA say Energetic Bear is probing or breaking into systems belonging to the US government and aviation industry. The goal of the Russians is to obtain the necessary inside information or access to systems to ultimately stir up civil unrest and distrust in the results of the November 3 US elections. Voting infrastructure is said to be unaffected, but there’s no evidence to date that integrity of elections data has been compromised.
