“Arizona officials say they have “moderate confidence” that the Iranian government or its affiliates are responsible for a cyberattack that breached the state’s candidate web portal last month, and say the same actors attempted to breach servers for other agencies in Arizona and elsewhere. “
“The hacker gained access to a server at the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office on June 23 and began changing candidate profile photos that appear on the state’s election results website, according to office officials. “
“Hackers with the same IP addresses attempted attacks on other Arizona agencies, and in other states, according to state cybersecurity officials. They declined to share which agencies or states were targeted, but said that they learned of those attempts by talking to election cybersecurity staff in other states through the National Association of Secretaries of State. “
“The Secretary of State’s Office shut down the web portal almost immediately after the attack began, it said, and blocked the hacker. But the hacker was “sophisticated,” Murray said, and continued to attempt to breach the server in other ways throughout the week the portal was shut down. Murray said he believes the attempts have now stopped. “
