“12 million 200 thousand potentially dangerous impacts from the Internet on the CEC website, on all its digital resources, including 14 targeted DDoS attacks with a total duration of 84 minutes,” she said. The remote electronic voting system also suffered from hackers, Pamfilova added. “Since the beginning of voting, over 420 thousand attacks on the resources of the DEG have been blocked, just imagine,” noted the head of the CEC. As Regnum reported, on the same day, at a meeting of the commission, Pamfilova said that because of the hack, it was not possible to hack the video surveillance system during the presidential elections. The CEC promised to show who exactly made these attempts and what exactly the identified persons did to discredit the presidential elections. Roskomnadzor also said on March 18 that during the voting, hackers carried out 497 cyber attacks on the information and telecommunications infrastructure of Russia, which required countermeasures to be taken by the Center for Monitoring and Management of the Public Communications Network of the RKN. The DDoS attacks were carried out simultaneously on all resources of the election infrastructure, and the longest of them lasted 40 hours and 12 minutes, the department added. Voting in the Russian presidential elections took place from March 15 to 17, 2024. Four candidates registered by the Central Election Commission applied for the post of head of state: Leonid Slutsky (LDPR), Nikolai Kharitonov (Communist Party of the Russian Federation), Vladislav Davankov (New People) and self-nominated Vladimir Putin, who won with a final result of 87.28% (76,277,708 votes). 4.31% of voters voted for Kharitonov, 3.85% for Davankov, and 3.2% for Slutsky. The voting took place with a record turnout in the modern history of the country, taking into account the DEGs of 77.49%. 87,576,075 voters took part in the voting, which is a historical figure. | |
