2024 U.S. Election Cyber Threats

Ahead of the 2024 elections, there is a growing concern over the escalation of cyber threats targeting U.S. political campaigns, as highlighted by a top cyber official from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Iranga Kahangama emphasized that foreign adversaries and cybercriminals are increasingly infiltrating campaigns, aiming to sow discord and compromise the integrity of the electoral process. Notably, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s annual threat assessment has warned of potential influence attempts by the People’s Republic of China, citing their sophistication in influence activities and experimentation with generative AI.

Kahangama stressed the significance of political campaigns as prime targets for cyberattacks, drawing attention to past successes by foreign adversaries, such as the Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Despite ongoing efforts to fortify election infrastructure cybersecurity, including initiatives like a $2 billion preparedness grant program and enhanced training for state and local election officials, concerns persist over vulnerabilities in the electoral system. Government watchdog reports have underscored the need for comprehensive incident response plans from the DHS to address election security concerns effectively.

DHS, through its Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is actively collaborating with information sharing and analysis centers and other key stakeholders to bolster election system security ahead of the November vote. Kahangama emphasized the importance of addressing these vulnerabilities, describing them as the “lowest-hanging fruit” often exploited by threat actors. Efforts to secure election systems include regional support for election officials and the provision of publicly accessible resources, such as CISA’s election cybersecurity toolkit.
