FBI, CISA remind US voters that DDoS attacks can't touch election systems

FBI and CISA issued a PSA emphasizing that DDoS attacks cannot compromise U.S. voting systems or prevent eligible voters from casting ballots, though they may temporarily affect access to election-related information (e.g., voter look-up tools, unofficial results). The advisory warns that attackers may falsely claim system compromises to undermine confidence, amid broader influence operations by foreign adversaries and domestic actors leveraging AI and deepfakes. The guidance urges the public to rely on official sources and contact election officials if critical sites are disrupted.
