CSC’s new research finds that a large majority of web domains closely linked to the campaign websites for Joe Biden and Donald Trump lack basic domain security protocols and are prone to domain spoofing tactics. This makes them a potential target for hackers looking to spread disinformation ahead of the election, and criminals who want to take advantage of voter intentions through domain spoofing, domain name and domain name system (DNS) hijacking, and phishing. Our findings show major risks that potentially lead to manipulation of web properties that voters rely on for information and donations. Additionally, the websites joebiden.com and donaldjtrump.com fit into this same risk profile.https://www.cscdbs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/10.8.2020-DBS-Blog-Image-1024x536.jpg
