FBI officials are set to meet with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and US Sen. Rick Scott about concerns that Russians hacked at least one Florida county ahead of the 2016 election, detailed in the Mueller report
The recent Mueller report contained the first-ever public US government claim that hackers successfully compromised a county's network in the lead-up to that year's election. The report states"the FBI believes that this operation enabled the GRU to gain access to the network of at least one Florida county government."That county has never been identified.
"The Florida Department of State has no knowledge or evidence of any successful hacking attempt at the county level during the 2016 elections," said Sarah Revell, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of State."Upon learning of the new information released in the Mueller report, the Department immediately reached out to the FBI to inquire which county may have been accessed, and they declined to share this information with us.
