A group of pirates who spoke Russian and were experts in electronic attacks requested the “Telegram” application hours ago to attack a state secretary’s government website.
According to American media, the secretary’s office then disclosed that there were some issues with state government websites.
The targeted sites contain important information for voters, who are looking for how and voting sites.
Earlier on Tuesday, officials in Illinois’ Champin Province claimed to have seen an electronic attack directed at organisations in the province in charge of planning the Congress elections.
According to officials, the attack will not affect the ability of the voters to cast their votes, but it will be difficult to access the services of the elections website, which provides information that helps voters to cast their votes.
It is noteworthy that the vast majority of voting machines are not online, making it virtually impossible to alter votes or stop voting as a result of electronic attacks.
Government websites in the state of Mississippi were interfered with following invitations from Russian pirates.
