FBI and CISA Publish a PSA on Malicious Cyber Activity Against Election Infrastructure

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and CISA have published a joint public service announcement that:

• Assesses malicious cyber activity aiming to compromise election infrastructure is unlikely to result in large-scale disruptions or prevent voting.
• Confirms “the FBI and CISA have no reporting to suggest cyber activity has ever prevented a registered voter from casting a ballot, compromised the integrity of any ballots cast, or affected the accuracy of voter registration information.”

The PSA also describes the extensive safeguards in place to protect election infrastructure and includes recommendations for protecting against election-related cyber threats.
