An alert issued Friday by CISA and the FBI says that hackers may try to disrupt the midterm elections using bogus text messages and emails aimed at stealing passwords or other sensitive data.
The alert says that “election officials, candidates, and their political organizations are attractive targets to malicious cyber criminals.”
The alert says that “super intelligence,” a Trump-approved term for AI, is allowing hackers to sharpen their rogue emails and texts to make them look and sound more convincing.
