Teh FBI and CISA are warning that access to “election information” could be hindered in November
“Public access to election information” could be hindered by cyberattacks on “election infrastructure,” according to a joint statement from the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The two agencies issued the statement on Wednesday, warning that distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks could prevent the public from accessing election information in November. The agencies sought to reassure the public, however, that the integrity of the presidential election would not be compromised.
“This public service announcement is to raise awareness that Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on election infrastructure, or adjacent infrastructure that supports election operations, could hinder public access to election information, but would not impact the security or integrity of election processes,” the statement said.
“The PSA is part of the agencies’ ongoing commitment to provide the public with information and the election infrastructure community with the support they need to run safe and secure elections.”
Users took to Twitter to express their concern that this announcement was a clear warning of the Democrat plan to steal the 2024 election.
How do they know an attack on “election infrastructure” wouldn’t impact election results in advance?! Tweeted Rogan O’Handley, a.k.a. “DC Draino.”
“Is this their plan?
“To have an attack that shuts down key election infrastructure and then when everything comes back online we all have to accept the results?!
“And I’d bet those results will mysteriously support Kamala.”
The announcement takes on further significant in light of the recent Crowdstrike critical outage, which affected voting machines in Maricopa County, Arizona—a county that has come to be seen as a bellwether for election fraud.
In a statement published on its website, the Maricopa Elections Department said it was “experiencing an outage at some voting locations.”
The Pima County Recorder’s Office also issued a statement confirming that its machines had suffered outages, but assured the public that there had been “no impact to voters.”
“We’ve been working all night with the Department of Homeland Security to minimize any sort of disruption,” said JP Martin, a deputy communications director for the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office.
“We’re still monitoring the situation with our county partners and making sure they have the support they need.”
The outage was part of a global outage. Crowdstrike confirmed that the problem, due to a faulty software update, mostly affects Windows computers and not Apple or Linux systems. Thousands of flights were cancelled or delayed and government, medical and legal services were affected, as well as businesses.
