WASHINGTON — Russian hackers attacked at least one U.S. voting software supplier days before last year’s presidential election, according to a government intelligence report leaked Monday that suggests election-related hacking penetrated further into U.S. voting systems than previously known. The classified National Security Agency report, which was published online by The Intercept, does not say whether the hacking had any effect on election results. The report the contractor allegedly leaked is dated May 5, the same date as the document The Intercept posted online. The information in the leaked document seems to go further than the U.S. intelligence agencies’ January assessment of the hacking that occurred. “Russian intelligence obtained and maintained access to elements of multiple U.S. state or local electoral boards,” the assessment said.
