Two US states’ election databases have been breached, according to a confidential flash alert issued Aug. 18 by the FBI’s Cyber Division, andobtained by Yahoo News.
The alert, labeled as restricted for “DIRECT NEED TO KNOW” recipients, was issued three days after Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told election officials, during a Aug. 15 conference call, that the Department of Homeland Security was not aware of “specific or credible cybersecurity threats” to the election.
