Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election was much worse than originally suspected. While government agencies have tried to downplay Moscow’s meddling, leaked NSA files and interviews with sources close to the investigation into the cyber attack have begun to reveal a much broader campaign than previously reported.
"Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter," reports Bloomberg News. "In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said."
Russian-backed hackers targeted nearly everything they could get their hands on in an apparent attempt to sow chaos.
"In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data," notes Bloomberg. "The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database."
