U.S. intelligence agencies had evidence that state websites or voter registration systems in seven states were compromised by Russia-backed operatives before the 2016 election — but never told the states involved, NBC News reported.

Top-secret intelligence requested by President Barack Obama in his last weeks in office identified the states where analysts believed Russian operatives had compromised websites or databases, the news outlet reported.

As of January 2017, the intelligence community believed the states were Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin, NBC News reported.

But though officials in Washington informed several of those states in the run-up to the election that foreign entities were probing their systems, none were told Russia was behind it, NBC News reported.
