Russia reports cyberattacks targeting parts of its electoral and communications systems as parliamentary voting continues for a second day. RTE News says the Russian authorities report that Moscow’s electronic voting system is hit by “powerful” cyberattacks overnight.
Investing.com adds that the attacks are reported on the second day of the parliamentary vote. ABC Australia reports that Russian authorities describe multiple attacks not only on voting systems but also on communication lines across the country during a three-day election period. The outlets’ accounts emphasize the timing—day two of voting—and the scope described by Russian authorities, ranging from Moscow’s electronic voting to broader disruption of communications and electoral infrastructure.
While the reports come from different outlets, they describe the same general claim: Russian authorities publicly report cyberattacks during the election, presenting them as an ongoing issue across more than one location as the vote progresses.
