That covers the mail-in ballots, ballot counting machines and the voter registration database, which is online.
"People register to vote online now, which is super convenient. However, there's all this personal information that is located on the internet. What the FBI does is help counties and the state safeguards these websites. We ensure they're using best practices for cyber security and if we see anything from our investigations, we share it with them so they can protect their networks," said Elvis Chan, FBI San Francisco assistant special agent in charge of the Cyber Branch.
Chan says the election ballot machines are not connected to the internet so cyber criminals can't hack into them.Chan also reports that as of right now there are no credible threats but they warn that criminals are using deep-fakes technology. It's a technology that allows anyone to be impersonated, which can lead to false information being given by someone who may seem credible.For the upcoming elections that could be something unusual at the ballot drop box or with your mail-in ballot.
