Microsoft Report Details Foreign Interference in US Elections
News summary

A recent Microsoft report highlights escalating foreign interference in the U.S. 2024 presidential election, primarily by Russia, China, and Iran. Russian operatives are utilizing AI-generated deepfake videos to discredit Vice President Kamala Harris, with fabricated claims including illegal activities in Zambia. Concurrently, Chinese influence campaigns are targeting Republican candidates critical of Beijing, promoting antisemitic content, and attempting to sway public opinion against them. Iran's activity includes scanning election-related websites for vulnerabilities and planning influence operations reminiscent of their 2020 election meddling. U.S. intelligence officials warn that these foreign efforts are likely to intensify as Election Day approaches on November 5. The report underscores the need for vigilance against misinformation and potential cyber threats during the election period.
