Joint Statement from the Department Of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security

Release Date: 
October 7, 2016

DHS and ODNI Seals

For Immediate Release
DHS Press Office
Contact: 202-282-8010

The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.

Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government. The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion. This assessment is based on the decentralized nature of our election system in this country and the number of protections state and local election officials have in place. States ensure that voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and there are numerous checks and balances as well as extensive oversight at multiple levels built into our election process.

Nevertheless, DHS continues to urge state and local election officials to be vigilant and seek cybersecurity assistance from DHS. A number of states have already done so. DHS is providing several services to state and local election officials to assist in their cybersecurity. These services include cyber “hygiene” scans of Internet-facing systems, risk and vulnerability assessments, information sharing about cyber incidents, and best practices for securing voter registration databases and addressing potential cyber threats. DHS has convened an Election Infrastructure Cybersecurity Working Group with experts across all levels of government to raise awareness of cybersecurity risks potentially affecting election infrastructure and the elections process. Secretary Johnson and DHS officials are working directly with the National Association of Secretaries of State to offer assistance, share information, and provide additional resources to state and local officials.

Thanks god for those Russians!  Whew!  Just think if all of us took out information from CNN as the "gospel".  We wouldn't even need elections!

But wait.....I thought after Trumps "rigged" comments, that it was widely reported by our resident "liberals" to be "impossible" to interfere with our systems?  Yes....I'm sure that was reported widely here on the FSCE NEWS HOTLINE and backed by our resident Dems.  

What has changed

 

Poor MC.  Hey...another "C+" for effort though.  I'll check back periodically to see how this threw is doing. :lol:

Hey, Romney said Russians were a geopolitical threat and Obama and the media laughed about it.  Now, to push the talking points and somehow try to deflect from the emails, the liberal media is pushing the narrative that Russians are now a big threat.  It all depends on what the DNC and liberal media wants to push and it is so blatant that it boggles the mind that people don't see it.  Maybe they do!!!

You fucking guys crack me up.   You were cheering when Obama was whispering things to the Russian representative saying "tell Vladimir I'll have more flexibility after the election" and now Russia is our biggest enemy.

Was Obama asking for help in his second election for POTUS. :lmao:

And the left crucified him for it.  :nuts:

Remember Obama's zinger in the debate.   “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”

The hypocrisy is amazing.
