The US president wants the
intelligence agencies to investigate whether the results of the recent
elections have been targeted by cyber attacks. Obama wants to receive the
results before leaving the "free world" leadership on January 20.
This year's presidential
elections have certainly entered the history books as the most controversial
and media-oriented ever.
The popular vote victory by Republican candidate Donald Trump left many jaw dropped and led to the rumor that the results would have been deliberately manipulated or targeted by computer attacks that misrepresented the royal verdict.
Whether or not the results were adulterated is still a mystery to be solved. But the fact is that national security adviser Lisa Monaco points out that Barack Obama, a strong and outspoken supporter of Democrat Hillary Clinton, urged such bodies as the FBI and the NSA to analyze the computer systems used to record US votes, Americans.
Quoted by Reuters, Lisa Monaco explains that cyberattacks on government systems are no surprise to anyone, but this year have reached unprecedented dimensions.
The Commander-in-Chief of the United States wants the results of the investigation to come to him before leaving the White House next year to give way to the new President.

These conclusions are also
likely to be shared with legislators in Congress.
It is important to make it clear that this research seeks to find evidence of possible computer manipulation of electoral results, whether domestic or cross-border.
In October, about a month before the Nov. 8 election, Washington formally accused Russia of launching cyber attacks against the Democratic Party's computer systems.
In addition, during the Web Summit in Lisbon, Mikko Hyppönen, director of research at F-Secure, said that the computer attacks spread by the internet over Hillary Clinton's emails originated in Russia.

There are mounting suspicions
that Moscow is behind a large part of the computer attacks that hit the United
States last year, but the authorship of a large percentage of cybercrime
campaigns is yet to be attributed.
CIA Confirmation
According to unidentified sources in the Washington Post, a secret report by the CIA indicates that there were actually hacking operations linked to the Moscow government in this year's election process. It is reported that the cybercrime campaign's aim was to give advantage to the now-president-elect Donald Trump.
The same sources claim that these hackers are part of a major operation aimed at harming Hillary Clinton - with, for example, personal email theft - in favor of the Republican opponent.
