Will Russian hackers affect this years US election?

-Source-DelcoTimes- Nearly a year after Russian government hackers meddled in the 2016 U.S. election researchers at cybersecurity firm Trend Micro zeroed in on a new sign of trouble: a group of suspect websites. The sites mimicked a portal used by U.S. senators and their staffs with easy-to-miss discrepancies. Emails to Senate users urged them to reset their passwords an apparent attempt to steal them. Once again hackers on the outside of the American political system were probing for a way in. Their attack methods continue to take advantage of human nature and when you get into an election cycle the targets are very public said Mark Nunnikhoven vice president of cloud research at Trend Micro. Now the U.S. has entered a new election cycle. And the attempt to infiltrate the Senate network linked to hackers aligned with Russia and brought to public attention in July is a reminder of the risks and the difficulty of assessing them. Newly reported attempts at infiltration and social media manipulation which Moscow officially denies point to Russias continued interest in meddling in U.S. politics. There is no clear evidence experts said of efforts by the Kremlin specifically designed to disrupt elections in November. But it wouldnt take much to cause turmoil. Its not a question of whether somebody is going to try to breach the system to manipulate the system to influence the system said Robby Mook who managed Hillary Clintons presidential campaign and co-directs a Harvard University project to protect democracy from cyberattacks in an interview earlier this year. The question is: Are we prepared for it?
