JOINT ODNI, FBI, AND CISA STATEMENT ON IRANIAN ELECTION INFLUENCE EFFORTS

 * Print



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ODNI News Release No. 20-24
August 19, 2024

 

JOINT ODNI, FBI, AND CISA STATEMENT ON IRANIAN ELECTION INFLUENCE EFFORTS

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
(ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the following statement:

“As each of us has indicated in prior public statements, Iran seeks to stoke
discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions. Iran has
furthermore demonstrated a longstanding interest in exploiting societal tensions
through various means, including through the use of cyber operations to attempt
to gain access to sensitive information related to U.S. elections. In addition
to these sustained efforts to complicate the ability of any U.S. administration
to pursue a foreign policy at odds with Iran’s interests, the IC has previously
reported that Iran perceives this year’s elections to be particularly
consequential in terms of the impact they could have on its national security
interests, increasing Tehran’s inclination to try to shape the outcome. We have
observed increasingly aggressive Iranian activity during this election cycle,
specifically involving influence operations targeting the American public and
cyber operations targeting Presidential campaigns.

This includes the recently reported activities to compromise former President
Trump’s campaign, which the IC attributes to Iran. The IC is confident that the
Iranians have through social engineering and other efforts sought access to
individuals with direct access to the Presidential campaigns of both political
parties. Such activity, including thefts and disclosures, are intended to
influence the U.S. election process. It is important to note that this approach
is not new. Iran and Russia have employed these tactics not only in the United
States during this and prior federal election cycles but also in other countries
around the world.

Protecting the integrity of our elections from foreign influence or interference
is our priority. As the lead for threat response, the FBI has been tracking this
activity, has been in contact with the victims, and will continue to investigate
and gather information in order to pursue and disrupt the threat actors
responsible. We will not tolerate foreign efforts to influence or interfere with
our elections, including the targeting of American political campaigns. As an
interagency we are working closely with our public and private sector partners
to share information, bolster security, and identify and disrupt any threats.
Just as this activity demonstrates the Iranians’ increased intent to exploit our
online platforms in support of their objectives, it also demonstrates the need
to increase the resilience of those platforms. Using strong passwords and only
official email accounts for official business, updating software, avoiding
clicking on links or opening attachments from suspicious emails before
confirming their authenticity with the sender, and turning on multi-factor
authentication will drastically improve online security and safety.

The FBI and CISA encourage campaigns and election infrastructure stakeholders to
report information concerning suspicious or criminal activity to their local
Election Crime Coordinators via FBI field office
(https://www.fbi.gov/fieldoffices), by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324),
or online at https://www.ic3.gov. Cyber incidents impacting election
infrastructure can also be reported to CISA by calling 1-844-Say-CISA
(1-844-729-2472), emailing report@cisa.dhs.gov, or reporting online at
https://www.cisa.gov/report. Election infrastructure stakeholders and the public
can find additional resources about how to protect against cyber and physical
threats at CISA’s #PROTECT2024
(https://www.cisa.gov/topics/election-security/protect2024).”
