'We know which systems were accessible to the hostile actors, but are not able to know conclusively what files may or may not have been accessed,' Electoral Commission Chief Executive Shaun McNally says.

Electoral security has emerged as a key issue in many countries ever since US officials found Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to boost Donald Trump’s White House campaign. “The successful attack… highlights that organizations involved in elections remain a target, and need to remain vigilant to the risks to processes around our elections.”
