The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) said on Tuesday they’ve seen no cyberattacks on voter registration databases this year, countering claims made in news reports about voter data appearing on a Russian hacking forum.

The agencies, in a joint statement, said they have not seen attacks “on any systems involving voting.”
