The US government has issued new guidance to help election infrastructure stakeholders increase their resilience against malign influence operations seeking to undermine trust in democratic institutions.
  • State-sponsored threat actors from China, Russia, and Iran are known for their hostile efforts to influence US policies.
  • Foreign malign influence campaigns have focused on undermining public confidence in the US election process and exacerbating partisan tensions.
  • Election officials and infrastructure stakeholders are advised to proactively debunk potential malign influence narratives, direct audiences to official websites and trusted sources of information, train staff to respond to suspected AI-generated media, and establish relations with local media and community leaders.
  • To secure systems, accounts, and public-facing assets, stakeholders should make social media accounts private, harden personal and organizational accounts, use strong cybersecurity protocols, including multi-factor authentication, on all accounts, and use non-repudiation and authentication techniques to mark their content.
