Government agencies have logged more than 160 reports of suspected interference in the US elections since Aug. 1, according to the Globe. In recent weeks, the pace of suspicious activity has increased to as many as 10 incidents a day, according to the report.

The DHS threat reports show states have flagged attempts by foreign hackers to steal voter data and access email accounts from state offices, according to the Globe. Other incidents reportedly include injections of malicious computer code and bogus requests for voter registration forms.
