Report: Hackers Breach Two State Election Databases, FBI Warns

FBI flash alert says two US states’ election databases have been breached, Yahoo News reports. Arizona’s election system experienced an unidentified malware infection. Illinois shut its voter registration system down for 10 days in late July after 200,000 voters’ data was exfiltrated. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson recently said the agency is “thinking about” bringing the countrys election system under its purview to guard it against cyberattacks, designating it as critical infrastructure. According to the document, attackers used Acunetix to discover a vulnerability, and then SQLMap to exploit it.”]
