A look at “perception hacks”, small attacks that can undermine confidence if exaggerated, and other scenarios that election officials are keeping an eye on

perception hacks are designed to trick us into thinking there has been widespread manipulation when there hasn't. The threat actors will keep trying, but we don't have to take the bait! https://www.nytimes.com/... David Sanger / @sangernyt : With the great @nicoleperlroth, a look at what to expect when you are expecting the Russians, the Iranians and others - including domestic players - to hack brains as well as infrastructure. https://twitter.com/... Nick Confessore / @nickconfessore : Election-related hacking, but as psychological warfare. An important story to understand the next week. https://twitter.com/... Nicole Perlroth / @nicoleperlroth : Also, some fresh hell: The Times obtained internal emails showing that the Georgia secretary of state's office disabled two-factor authentication in recent weeks, after some of its election systems started bucking under the deluge of early voters. https://twitter.com/...
