"Foreign actors ... could exploit the time required to certify and announce elections' results by disseminating disinformation ... intended to convince the public of the elections' illegitimacy."

WASHINGTON – The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned that foreign actors and cybercriminals could try to discredit the electoral process by spreading false information as state and election officials work to certify 2020 election results.

The agencies said false information could be found on social media or new or altered websites. The agencies urge people to think critically about the sources of information they consume. An intelligence assessment published last month found that Russia is actively working to"denigrate" Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
