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.
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.
Une affirmation appuyée par le New York Times, qui révèle que les services russes ont aussi hacké les ordinateurs du comité national républicain, mais ont gardé les informations obtenues au lieu de les transmettre.
Mais des désaccords persistent entre responsables du renseignement, en partie parce que «certaines questions demeurent sans réponses», décrit le Washington Post. «Par exemple, les agences de renseignement ne disposent d’aucune preuve montrant que des responsables du Kremlin auraient "ordonné" à des individus identifiés de transmettre les mails du Parti démocrate à WikiLeaks», poursuit le quotidien. De son côté, Julien Assange déclare dans une interview que «la Russie n’est pas la source».
