U.S. says Iranian hackers accessed voter data with threatening emails sent to thousands of Americans

This Thursday, June 14, 2018, file photo, shows the FBI seal at a news conference at FBI headquarters in Washington.U.S. officials said late Friday that the Iranian hackers behind a wave of threatening emails sent to thousands of Americans earlier this month successfully accessed voter data.

The campaign – which consisted of thousands of threatening emails sent to random U.S. voters in the name of a pro-Trump far right group – featured a video in which a hacker purported to demonstrate how they could cause havoc by breaking into a voter registration records.Experts who examined the footage said it amounted to little more than an attempt to scare voters about the integrity of the Nov.

The state was not identified, although purported personal details of Alaska voters were briefly flashed on the video. The FBI, CISA, and the Alaska Division of Elections did not immediately return messages seeking comment. CISA and the FBI said the Iranian hackers also scanned a number of other states' election sites for vulnerabilities.
