- Report shows misinformation a threat to election security
The U.S. Postal Service has proposed new rules requiring states to provide data on voters receiving mail-in ballots for federal elections. President Trump previously tightened mail-in voting rules to enhance election security, but a new report suggests election security threats are more likely from another source. Arron Rose of Check Point Software Technologies and Liz Lander discuss the findings.
- Election threats are focused on campaign systems, not voting machines
Cybersecurity threats to the 2026 midterm elections are targeting campaign systems such as email accounts, websites, and fundraising platforms rather than voting machines. Attackers are using AI to enhance phishing and password theft, with 82% of malicious attacks arriving via email and over 16,000 stolen passwords reported from ActBlue and WinRed. New election-related websites are being registered for phishing scams, and AI-generated misinformation is a growing concern.
