Sounds like Russia is being used as a scapegoat.
The Georgia Secretary of Stateās Office now confirms 10 separate cyberattacks on its network were all traced back to U.S. Department of Homeland Security addresses.
In an exclusive interview, a visibly frustrated Secretary of State Brian Kemp confirmed the attacks of different levels on his agencyās network over the last 10 months. He says they all traced back to DHS internet provider addresses.
āWeāre being told something that they think they have it figured out, yet nobodyās really showed us how this happened,ā Kemp said. āWe need to know.ā
Kemp told Channel 2ās Aaron Diamant his officeās cybersecurity vendor discovered the additional so-called vulnerability scans to his networkās firewall after a massive mid-November cyberattack triggered an internal investigation.
The Secretary of Stateās Office manages Georgiaās elections, and most concerning for Kemp about the newly discovered scans is the timing.
The first one happened on Feb. 2, the day after Georgiaās voter registration deadline. The next one took place just days before the SEC primary. Another occurred in May, the day before the general primary, and then two more took place in November, the day before and the day of the presidential election.
āIt makes you wonder if somebody was trying to prove a point,ā Kemp said.
Last week, the DHS confirmed the large Nov. 15 attack traced back to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection internet gateway. But Kemp says the DHSā story about its source keeps changing.
āFirst it was an employee in Corpus Christi, and now itās a contractor in Georgia,ā Kemp said.
Unsatisfied with the response he got from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson this week, Kemp fired off a letter Wednesday to loop in President-elect Donald Trump.
