Jen Easterly, director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, has said that the security of America’s election systems is assured, observing that “Malicious actors, even if they tried, could not have an impact at scale such that there would be a material effect on the outcome of the election.” Despite warnings of foreign attempts to influence the upcoming presidential race, particularly from Russia and Iran, Easterly emphasized that no specific cyber activity targeting election infrastructure has been detected. The Biden administration has taken steps to counter these threats, including seizing fake Kremlin-run websites and charging individuals involved in disinformation campaigns.
