Russia Claims Foreign Hackers Are Trying To Interfere With Its Election

Sergei Chirikov/Pool Photo via AP Election officials in Moscow said they were hit by a DDoS attack on Sunday. It came as polls were opening in the 2018 presidential election, which there is no real doubt that Vladimir Putin will win. It is more common to see Russia itself accused of election meddling, as it has been in the US and 19 European nations. Russia, a country which has been accused numerous times of attempting to interfere with elections overseas, has claimed that its own presidential contest is under attack from foreign hackers. Officials in Moscow said that the Russian Central Election Commission's website was hit by a coordinated attack by IP addresses from 15 different countries on election day.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: Harvard professor Steven Pinker explains the disturbing truth behind Trump's 2 favorite phrasesSee Also:Putin only follows 19 people on Twitter, and one of them has been dead for 5 years — here's the full listBILL BROWDER: How sanctions on Russia hurt Putin's closest alliesTheresa May has embarrassed Vladimir Putin at his own political game, Russia expert says
