Romania faced tens of thousands of intrusion attempts -- some successful -- before and during its first round of presidential elections.

The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) attributed the campaign targeting websites and servers supporting the electoral process to a potential state-sponsored threat actor.

The presidential runoff is scheduled for Sunday amid concerns that the leading candidate, far-right ultranationalist Calin Georgescu , benefited from a massive influence campaign on TikTok .

Romania does not use electronic voting but relies on IT systems developed by the STS for the AEP to prevent fraud.

These systems validate and record national ID cards at polling stations to prevent multiple voting.

STS officials presented their own briefing that has now been declassified, in which they stated that no vulnerabilities or malfunctions were identified.
