Phishing and Social Engineering: The Human Factor in Election Security

Phishing and social engineering attacks pose significant threats to the 2024 U.S. elections by exploiting human vulnerabilities to compromise systems. The article examines how these tactics work and discusses defensive measures to counter evolving attack methods targeting election infrastructure and personnel.

Why it matters: Election officials, IT security staff, and poll workers need to recognize phishing and social engineering risks today because successful attacks could compromise voter data, election systems, or operational continuity during voting.
