    In the year of "rigged" election claims, security firm Recorded Future says it identified a Russian-speaking hacker attempting to sell accounts that have access to the US Election Assistance Commission. While may not be familiar with the EAC, it's the agency in charge of certifying voting machines and providing best practices used in elections. In a statement, the EAC confirmed it's aware of a "potential intrusion" and says it's working with law enforcement.
