No clue at to yet who is behind these emails - last reference was that they were supposedly from QAnon - but the actual source wasn't revealed by the FBI. Could be government agencies, could be some bored hackers.

And don't forget that people in Iran and Russia are subject to their own government's propaganda. What teenage Russian/Iranian hacker wouldn't want to be seen as a 'hero' because they attacked the enemy, the USA?

So keep those nukes sleeping in their silos, ok?

The FBI have yet to reveal if these emails were specifically aimed at registered Democratic party voters, or just anybody.
