Younger voters are being targeted the most — with fake polls, donation scams and disinformation — ahead of the November 2024 election, a survey found.
"The human eye is no longer enough to detect these scams," said Karin Zilberstein, vice president of product at cybersecurity company
"You'd receive an email or a text message asking about your political views or how you stand on specific election-related topics. And this information can be later used by scammers and hackers in later phishing campaigns. So, any information that somebody would provide can be later used to gain their trust into further communication," Zilberstein said.
If you're considering donating to a political campaign, research the organization first. Legitimate groups will provide clear information on how that money will be used.
