The governor said he signed an agreement with the FBI not to disclose the names of the counties, but elections officials in those counties are aware of the intrusion

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis addressed concerns over reports that Russian hackers gained access to voter databases in two Florida counties ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

On Tuesday, DeSantis and his team announced that the Florida Department of State and the Supervisor of Elections will work together to "conduct a thorough elections-specific assessment" to identify "any vulnerabilities" in the Florida voter database.

DeSantis confirmed reports of Russian hacking back in May but said the hackers didn't manipulate any data and the election results were not compromised.

The governor said he signed an agreement with the FBI not to disclose the names of the counties, but elections officials in those counties are aware of the intrusions.

He said the hackers gained access through a spearfishing email after a worker clicked a link.
