She also advised that the longer passwords are more secure, and staff should use at least two-factor authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belfercenter.org\/CyberPlaybook\">cybersecurity playbook <\/a>for political campaigns in November 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2016, the Russian government allegedly hacked the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign through spear-phishing and other open-source tools to steal documents and post them online. Russian officials apparently sent the Clinton campaign\u2019s chairman, John Podesta, an email that appeared to be a Google security notification. Instead, it was an elaborate spear-phishing attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCheck incoming email addresses,\u201d to guard against spear-phishing, Plunkett warned in the video. \u201cOur democracy is in your hands, so take good care of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video comes as election security remains a top security issue. Senior U.S. officials have warned that American critical infrastructure is under attack. In a July 13 speech, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said the warning lights for a cyberattack are \u201cblinking red.&#8221; At the same time, states are more prepared to secure their election systems compared to the last election cycle, Christopher Krebs, undersecretary for national protection at the Department of Homeland Security, said earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips for how political campaigns can change a broken cybersecurity
