Russia escalates disinformation efforts ahead of U.S. election day

wired.com — November 5, 2024, 11:01 PM UTC

Russian interference in the 2024 U.S. presidential election has intensified, with officials reporting a surge in disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining voter confidence. This marks a shift from previous elections, where Russia's tactics were less aggressive.

U.S. intelligence agencies have identified Russia as the primary foreign threat, noting an increase in fake content designed to instill fear and suggest political violence. Recent bomb threats at polling places in Georgia were linked to Russian email domains, causing temporary disruptions.

Officials highlighted the sophistication of current Russian operations, which include fake interviews and misleading articles about election fraud. This level of activity is greater than in past election cycles, raising concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
