FBI Warns of Russian Disinformation in 2024 Election

The FBI has issued warnings about two fabricated videos designed to spread misinformation during the 2024 U.S. elections. One video falsely claims the FBI advised voting remotely due to a terror threat, while another alleges rigged inmate voting in several states. Both videos are not authentic and aim to undermine public confidence in the electoral process. These disinformation efforts are part of broader foreign influence operations, with Russian entities particularly active in spreading false narratives. Multiple media outlets, including CBS News, have been mimicked to lend credence to these fabrications. The FBI is actively working with intelligence and cybersecurity agencies to address these threats and maintain election integrity.
