Original release date: June 06, 2019

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released an article on the Protected Voices initiative designed to 
mitigate the risk of cyber influence operations targeting U.S. elections. As part of the initiative, FBI offices are 
coordinating with political campaigns at the local, state, and federal levels across the country to make them aware of 
potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities. In partnership with the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the 
Director of National Intelligence, FBI has also released a series of short videos [ 
https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/counterintelligence/foreign-influence/protected-voices ] to help political campaigns 
defend their computer networks. The videos include tips and best practices on topics such as setting strong passwords 
and defending against social engineering.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages users to review the FBI Article [

 ] and the CISA Tip Best Practices for Securing Elections Systems [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST19-002 ] for
