FBI warns about election systems targeting

So the thing that most strikes me about this story is how the attached PDF is so totally "I are a 1337 webmaster!!1!! These are definitely for3ign act0rz and not skr1pt k1dd13z!!1! You can tell by the Russian web pages...".

Basically, someone looked at the server logs. Everyone's web server logs look like this. The IP addresses I bothered to check are all colo boxes, it's likely that they're just more compromised machines.

I would love to learn some details of what data was corrupted or lost, though...

Yahoo News: FBI says foreign hackers penetrated state election systems (auto-play video), but you can ignore that and skip straight to the FBI Flash: Targeting Activity Against State Board of Election Systems.
