Russia's Central Election Commission chair Ella Pamfilova said on Friday that the country's parliamentary elections faced an unprecedented wave of cyberattacks, drone-related threats and other disruptions, but that election infrastructure remained operational throughout the voting period. Pamfilova said authorities recorded around 28 million potentially dangerous internet impacts on CEC digital resources during the election campaign, including 13 targeted DDoS attacks during voting days. She also reported false bomb threats, attempts to hack election officials' phones, drone incidents and damage to election commission facilities in several regions. Pamfilova said Russian cyber defences successfully repelled the attacks and described the scale of the pressure campaign as one that few countries could withstand. #russia #russianelections #stateduma #cyberattack #ddos #cybersecurity #ellapamfilova In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected w
