CISA Warns of DDoS Threat to 2024 Elections

CISA Warns of DDoS Threat to 2024 Elections

The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have issued an urgent warning about the potential for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks targeting election infrastructure as the 2024 US general election approaches. These attacks, aimed at overwhelming websites with traffic to render them inaccessible, could disrupt public access to crucial election-related information. While such disruptions might prevent timely access to voter look-up tools or unofficial election night reporting, the FBI and CISA stress that the security and integrity of the voting process remain unaffected.

DDoS attacks, historically favored by hacktivists and cybercriminals with social, political, or ideological motives, pose a risk of creating false narratives about election compromise. By temporarily disrupting access to election-related websites, threat actors could attempt to undermine public confidence in the electoral process. However, the FBI and CISA have reassured the public that these attacks cannot impact the actual voting systems, the tabulation of votes, or the final election results.

To mitigate the potential impact of DDoS attacks, election officials nationwide have implemented multiple safeguards, backup processes, and incident response plans. Additionally, alternative communication channels, such as traditional news outlets and direct messaging to voters, are in place to ensure that crucial election information remains accessible. The FBI and CISA encourage voters to seek information from official sources, particularly if any disruptions occur, and to contact local election officials if needed.

This public service announcement is part of a broader effort by the FBI and CISA to educate the public on potential cyber threats and maintain the resilience of U.S. elections. As part of their ongoing commitment, the agencies are urging the public to report any suspicious or criminal activity related to DDoS attacks to their local FBI field office or CISA. By staying informed and vigilant, voters can help uphold the integrity of the electoral process and counteract any attempts to spread disinformation.
