- According to US intelligence coordinator John Ratcliffe, Russia and Iran have stolen “some” personal data from US voters.
- The data can be misused to misinform voters and cause confusion.
- An attempt is made to shake confidence in democracy.
Iranian authorities have already sent emails with the aim of “intimidating voters and causing social unrest,” Ratcliffe said. He is the director of the Intelligence Community, an association of American intelligence agencies. The secret services were convinced that Tehran expects Trump to be eliminated.
Iran is said to have posted a video
In addition, Iran has released a video falsely claiming that it is easy to cast false votes at home and abroad, Ratcliffe said.
Ratcliffe added that intelligence services had not yet detected such acts by Russia. As in 2016, Moscow captured data on voters.
Rest assured: your votes are safe.
FBI Chief Christopher Wray said: “We will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections or any criminal activity that undermines the integrity of your voice or undermines public confidence in the outcome of the elections.”
Registered voter data is generally stored locally in counties and communities in the United States. No information was provided on which states or locations the voter data should come from.
The United States presidential elections will be held on November 3.
