CISA Director: Presidential Election Was Safe, Secure

There’s no evidence malicious cyberactivity had a “material impact on the security or integrity” of U.S. election infrastructure on Tuesday, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly said Wednesday. A CISA official said Tuesday the agency hadn’t detected “national-level” foreign interference campaigns targeting the presidential election (see 2411050047). U.S. election infrastructure “has never been more secure and the election community never better prepared to deliver safe, secure, free, and fair elections for the American people,” said Easterly. “This is what we saw yesterday in the peaceful and secure exercise of democracy.” The FBI said in a statement Tuesday that it was aware of bomb threats at polling locations in several states. Many of the threats appeared to "originate from Russian email domains," the bureau said. "None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far."
