Report: Russian hackers probed US voting systems

WASHINGTON, D.C.: A top secret US report showing that hackers from Russian military intelligence tried repeatedly to break into US voting systems before last year’s presidential election raised new alarms on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) about the extent of Moscow’s meddling.

But the alleged leak of the National Security Agency (NSA) document by one of the tens of thousands of private contractors to US spy agencies, barely one month after the report was written, became the newest embarrassment for the US intelligence community.
