Kudos to the team for being immediately open about the issue. I'm not sure if this is a new development or an older issue. One thing you need to understand is that the timing for this info getting out there is perhaps a little less than a coincidence. Estonia is poised to have local elections very soon (mid October) and even non-citizens can vote, as long as they are residents and have an ID card. Traditionally one of the parties (Keskerakond) has received very few votes from the e-voting. They have an older voting crowd and also less urban, and get the majority of Russian speaking votes. They would have a lot to gain from speculation over security issues with e-voting. Also, Keskerakond, has had ties with Russia and Russian money financing some of their campaigns. I'm not saying it's Russia, but the timing of the announcement of the vulnerability is very interesting (updated for formatting) |

Any articles you can link to which will detail something like this Russia has done? I've also heard similar comments about the ransomware attack on Czech Republic, which is indicating of past behavior of Russia.
American media companies don't seem to cover Russia (atleast as well as China, excluding the recent election news frenzy. Or maybe they don't get shared that much). Russian government seems to silence domestic critics, so any verbose story which is noteworthy by international journalists?
(I'm fine with spending a good number of hours on this so anyone is welcome to post any number of links)
