US cybersecurity chief says disinformation surge hasn’t impacted election

U.S. cybersecurity company director Jen Easterly mentioned on Monday that her division has not seen proof of any exercise that might instantly influence the result of the election, regardless of a surge in disinformation.

She added that the 2024 election has confronted an “unprecedented” quantity of disinformation from international adversaries.

U.S. companies have warned that Russia and others intend to fan divisive narratives forward of the election, an accusation Russia has denied.

Final week officers within the state of Georgia described a pretend video circulating on-line of Haitian immigrant with a number of Georgia IDs claiming to have voted a number of occasions as “focused disinformation”. In an announcement, senior U.S. intelligence officers linked the video again to Russia.

A senior Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Safety Company official mentioned there was a excessive probability that international disinformation efforts will proceed in weeks and months after election up till January 6.
