For years, America?s adversaries have targeted U.S. elections as part of their efforts to undermine U.S. global standing, sow discord inside the United States, and influence U.S. voters and decision making. We expect 2024 to be no different. U.S. elections remain an attractive target for both nation-states and cyber criminals. As we move into the 2024 election cycle, CISA and our partners in the federal government are positioned to support election officials and private sector election infrastructure partners in addressing the physical, cyber, and operational security risks they face. Election officials are the frontline defenders in securing the electoral process?we are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in this critical mission.
 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE), Australian Federal Police (AFP), and Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD's ACSC) are releasing this joint Cybersecurity Advisory to warn network defenders of Iranian cyber actors' use of brute force and other techniques to compromise organizations across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, including the healthcare and public health (HPH), government, information technology, engineering, and energy sectors. The actors likely aim to obtain credentials and information describing the victim's network that can then be sold to enable access to cybercriminals.
