A PBS NewsHour segment on Russian hacking reveals that while 21 states saw "probes" or "scans" from Russian IP addresses, no vote totals were changed. The discussion argues that the primary goal of these reports is to "sow distrust" in the American electoral system rather than address a technical threat.
A hacking group calling itself "Vikingdom 2015" targeted several U.S. state government websites, including Maine.gov and Wyoming.gov. However, a technical analysis by a travel services provider revealed that the attacking IP addresses were registered to the U.S. Air Force's 754th Electronic System Group. This discovery suggests that some "foreign" cyberattacks may actually be domestic operations, possibly intended to justify new executive powers or frame other nations.
