Business Insider: “Cybercriminals are setting up fake voting websites to spread misinformation and confuse people ahead of the Nov. 3 presidential election, the FBI announced last week. Some of the fake sites aim to mislead voters to influence the election, while others try to use interest around voting to steal people’s passwords. They imitate official election sites but use slightly altered spellings, like changing one letter in the word “election” to trick people into trusting them. Other versions of the scam use similar tactics to send people emails from spoofed addresses that appear to come from election officials, baiting them with emails that purport to contain information about voting in order to get people to click on malicious links. The fake websites are being run by scammers and ‘foreign actors’ according to the FBI’s announcement, but the agency did not specify which entities may be behind the sites.”
