Good morning.
Heading into this election, many feared the campaigns would get hijacked by deepfakes—images and audio made to look and sound almost exactly like public figures that are used to spread disinformation. Yesterday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a warning about foreign adversaries, especially Russia, manufacturing fake videos to claim to show ballot stuffing, cyberattacks and other election fraud. That followed another warning last week, stating that “Russian influence actors” had manufactured a video that falsely depicted individuals claiming to be from Haiti voting illegally in multiple counties in Georgia.
