KnowBe4, Monday, November 2nd, 2026
KnowBe4 relays Malwarebytes warnings about election scams that target U.S. voters by text, email and phone ahead of the midterms.
KnowBe4 summarizes a Malwarebytes report on scams targeting voters ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.
The scams arrive by text, email or phone, offering to help register voters, asking for surveys or soliciting donations, with the aim of stealing money, personal information or credentials.
One campaign targeted Minnesota residents with a fraudulent link to join the state's absentee voter list, while other messages claim the recipient's registration is incomplete or about to be cancelled, or threaten fines or election duty.
Malwarebytes advises going directly to an official election authority website instead of following links.
