I could not find any official English translation of the report, but Romanian can be easily translated with online tools. This link (found in the article) seems to have more technical details https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/romanias-elec...

β€œThe Romanian intelligence agency says that the 85,000 attacks continued until November 25th, the night after the first presidential election round, and the goals ranged from gaining access to the election infrastructure and compromising it to altering election information for the public and denying access to the systems.

SRI notes in the declassified report that the threat actor tried to breach the systems by exploiting SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities from devices in more than 33 countries.

The agency is also warning that Romania's election infrastructure is still affected by vulnerabilities that could be exploited to move laterally on the network and establish persistence.”



So, they can't even get the Romanian Intelligence Service to make a specific claim that some aspect of voting was affected, instead that they were "targeted by" cyberattacks? And this is enough to cancel already-held elections?


5 documents were declassified and published the links are accesible from here https://www.europafm.ro/klaus-iohannis-a-declasificat-docume...
