The FBI has changed its policy around election cybersecurity and said it will now notify state officials in the event that local election systems are hacked. Previously, the FBI would inform these parties but not necessarily share the information with state election officials. The move extends the number of election officials who are notified of hacks beyond just the direct victims, such as local state counties that own and operate election equipment. With evidence already public that hackers are already trying to interfere with the 2020 elections, this decision could become crucial to protecting results come November.
