Haunted by Russia’s brazen effort to meddle in the last election, US federal and state officials have erected what they believe are formidable barriers to thwart cyber-attacks ahead of Nov 3’s US presidential vote.
Cybersecurity experts, including those authorised to deploy military cyber capabilities, have been brought together to form an “all of government” effort to ensure voters decide whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden wins, without US adversaries sabotaging the process. That means dozens of state, local, federal and private players, amounting to hundreds of people, will be linked to the Department of Homeland Security’s command centre on election night.
