Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said state computers were the target of a cyber attack Saturday, the fourth night of demonstrations after the death of George Floyd.
"Before our operation kicked off last night, a very sophisticated denial of service attack on all state computers was executed," Walz said Sunday morning during a news briefing, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "That's not somebody sitting in their basement.”
[Nope, it was Russia.]
Walz also doubled down on his claim that much of the unrest was fomented by people from out of state, saying “there are outside folks in there.”
[Yep, "unwitting agents of the Russian Federation".]
