Georgia’s secretary of state’s office said it fended off a cyberattack last week that targeted its absentee ballot portal, officials said Wednesday.
The office of Georgia’s secretary of state said it fended off a cyberattack believed to have come from a foreign nation intended to paralyze the battleground state’s absentee voter website.
The secretary of state’s cyber team was alerted to a dramatic spike in attempts to access Georgia’s absentee ballot portal Oct. 14. The portal, which was slowed but not stopped, is the website where voters request absentee ballots.
The state’s voting systems aren’t connected to the internet and were not affected, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
