Beware the phishing attempts.
An election security official with the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security warned top
state election officials nationwide to safeguard
against fraudulent emails targeting state and
local election workers.
The emails appear as if they come from a
legitimate source and contain links that, if
clicked, can open up election data systems to
manipulation or attacks.
Geoff Hale, director of the department’s Election
Security Initiative, told a gathering of secretaries
of state that the nation’s decentralized voting
systems remain especially vulnerable to emails
that can trick unsuspecting workers into
providing access to elections databases.
