Moscow's Election Day Jitters: A Cyberattack Exposes Russia's Vulnerability Russia's parliamentary election has been marred by a series of embarrassing cyberattacks, raising questions about the country's ability to protect its electoral systems from foreign interference.
The attacks on Moscow's electronic voting system are particularly concerning, given the Kremlin's attempts to portray the election as a resounding endorsement of Vladimir Putin's leadership.
The vote is expected to be heavily manipulated in favor of the ruling United Russia party, which suggests that this election is more about maintaining control than genuinely representing the Russian people.
