A hacker speaking Russian was allegedly selling stolen login credentials for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, a government organisation that tests and certifies voting technology, according to security firm Record Future. A hacker going by the online handle Rasputin allegedly sold over 100 hacked login credentials for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Subsequent investigation revealed a Russian hacker. This actor is referred to by Recorded Future as Rasputin requesting EAC database access credentials from a buyer. Researchers found that some of these credentials possessed the highest administrative privileges, which could be exploited by a hacker to deploy an exploit kit to compromise specific users in a watering hole attack or steal confidential data from the US Election Assistance Commission.
