 " This really is a global trend , " said Andrea Little Limbago , the chief social scientist at Endgame , a cybersecurity firm . " About 18 different democracies in 2016 alone had their elections interfered with by a variety of different means . " 
 While the spectrum of politically motivated hackers is Tour Campuchia as broad as the spectrum of vulnerabilities , Little Limbago says that nation - states , private companies and hacktivist groups are most likely to meddle with elections . 
 Russia , China and Iran are the most aggressive nation - states targeting elections . " We ' ve seen Russian interference really targeting Europe , " she said . " And in Turkey , Sweden , Italy , the Irish referendum . " 
 While China is a sophisticated hacking threat and notorious for swiping the intellectual property of American technology firms , its political interests are primarily regional , she says . China recently attacked Taiwan with " cybervandalism " and propaganda pushing Chinese policies . In Cambodia , China engaged in " data theft of [ voter ] registration rolls " and " political espionage . " 
 Iran is also a sophisticated threat actor , and like China its targets tend to be regional . In August , Reuters discovered a " sprawling network " of Iranian sites and social media accounts linked to influence campaigns targeting the 2019 Israeli Knesset elections . 
 To fund its hacking operations , " Iran has been willing to [ launch ] global campaigns against financial institutions , " Little Limbago said . Iran has targeted allies of the United States , but its attacks against Western nations have historically been " for reconnaissance " and espionage . 
 Sub - state level actors and corporations , according to Little Limbago , are now engaging in a practice known as " cognitive hacking , " the use of social media platforms like Twitter , Facebook and Google to persuade voters using propaganda . 
 While loose - knit groups of lone - wolf hacktivists didn ' t play a large role in the 2016 general election , they are involved with election meddling in places like the Philippines , where , according to Little Limbago , " a hacktivist group first attacked an election commission website . " It released records of 55 million voter registrations , including biometric data , she said . 
 In the US , groups like Anonymous and Ghost Squad Hackers claim to care more about attacking corporations than the election . " We really do not care about attacking the US elections , " said S 1 ege , the leader of Ghost Squad Hackers . " They ' ve already been hacked . We mostly hack ISIS . "
