Cybercriminals Pose a Greater Threat of Disruptive US Election Hacks Than Russian or China
Briefly

"Since the 2022 midterm elections, financially and ideologically motivated cyber criminals have targeted US state and local government entity networks that manage or support election processes. In some cases, successful ransomware attacks and a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on such infrastructure delayed election-related operations in the affected state or locality but did not compromise the integrity of voting processes."
"Nation-state-affiliated cyber actors have not attempted to disrupt US elections infrastructure, despite reconnaissance and occasionally acquiring access to non-voting infrastructure. Instead, their preferred tactics involve intelligence-gathering and disinformation campaigns rather than direct attacks that could be construed as hostility against the US government."
