The FBI says Russian emails are sending fake bomb threats to polling stations
None of the bomb threats have been credible so far.
The agency says it is working closely with state and local law enforcement to respond to any election threats and urges the public to “remain vigilant” and report suspicious activity to state and local authorities. On Friday, a joint statement issued by the FBI, the Director of National Intelligence’s Office, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned of Russian-created fake videos designed to “raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the U.S. election.” In another statement yesterday, the agencies said Russian “influence actors” were amplifying false claims of US officials planning to “orchestrate election fraud using a wide range of tactics.” That has included influence campaigns carried out by the Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency, as well as Russian and Iranian acquisition of US voter registration information that may have been used to threaten people through email if they don’t vote for Trump in 2020.
