yeah so more information about this woman who leaked important information
pertaining russia’s involvement in the election:
Her name is "Reality Leigh Winner" and she was a NSA Contractor. She passed
a top secret NSA document to a news source (an article from The Intercept) that
contains information about a Russian cyber-attack with one voting machine
DAYS before the 2016 presidential election. This is considered the most detailed
piece of proof regarding Russia’s interference with the elections to date.
Here’s how the NSA document described how the Russians did the hacking:
"As described by the classified NSA report, the Russian plan was simple: pose
as an e-voting vendor and trick local government employees into opening
Microsoft Word documents invisibly tainted with potent malware that could give
hackers full control over the infected computers.
But in order to dupe the local officials, the hackers needed access to an election
software vendor’s internal systems to put together a convincing disguise. So on
August 24, 2016, the Russian hackers sent spoofed emails purporting to be from
Google to employees of an unnamed U.S. election software company, according
to the NSA report. Although the document does not directly identify the company
in question, it contains references to a product made by VR Systems, a Florida-
based vendor of electronic voting services and equipment whose products are
used in eight states.
The spear-phishing email contained a link directing the employees to a
malicious, faux-Google website that would request their login credentials and
then hand them over to the hackers. The NSA identified seven "potential victims"
at the company. While malicious emails targeting three of the potential victims
were rejected by an email server, at least one of the employee accounts was
likely compromised, the agency concluded. The NSA notes in its report that it is
"unknown whether the aforementioned spear-phishing deployment successfully
compromised all the intended victims, and what potential data from the victim
could have been exfiltrated.
