Angus King, because the campaigns consider the technology too unwieldy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve heard in the last 24 hours that two presidential campaigns were approached and they said \u2018two-factor authentication is just too cumbersome and so we\u2019re not going to do it,\u2019\u201d King said at a Cyberspace Solarium Commission event at the Centers for Strategic and International Studies March 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King did not name the campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multi-factor authentication has become part of basic cyber hygiene. Organizations without that technology can be left vulnerable, a point was made especially clear after 2016 when John Podesta, the campaign chair for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/policy-and-politics\/2016\/10\/28\/13456368\/how-john-podesta-email-got-hacked\" target=_blank>had his email hacked in part because didn\u2019t have two-factor authentication activated<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May 2019, the Federal Election Commission <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/application-security\/fec-gives-green-light-for-free-cybersecurity-help-in-federal-elections\/d\/d-id\/1334797\" target=_blank>issued an opinion<\/a> allowing companies to provide free or discounted cybersecurity services for presidential campaigns, so long as its nonpartisan. Suzanne Spaulding, a member of the commission and senior adviser for Homeland Security at CSIS, said the organization will recommend &#8220;institutionalizing\u201d that opinion as part of 75 cyber policy recommendation the group will issue March 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the challenges for many campaigns is that officials don\u2019t want to spend their money on cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus far, Spaulding said, use of the pro-bono cyber services has been &#8220;ad hoc.\u201d No presidential campaigns responded to Fifth Domain\u2019s questions about their implementation of two-factor authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While activity during the 2016 presidential election generally originated from Russia, experts warn that this year\u2019s election will attract malicious behavior from other nation-states. For example, this campaign cycle already has documented email intrusion attempts by Iranian actors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/civilian\/2019\/10\/04\/iran-backed-hackers-targeted-2020-presidential-campaign-says-microsoft\/\" target=_blank>according to an October 2019 blog post from Microsoft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Other election measures<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commission\u2019s upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/show-reporters\/rsa\/2020\/02\/26\/how-the-executive-branch-shaped-the-cyber-solarium-commission\/\" target=_blank>report<\/a> will recommend that the Election Assistance Commission add a fifth commissioner who will only participate on cyber issues, King said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That body, which providers information for voters and election officials, has a board of four commissioners, two Republicans and two Democrats. King said the Cyberspace Solarium Commission wants to solve the gridlock within that group which has rendered it \u201cnot really functional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fifth member would be technical expert who understands cyber. \u201cWe think it\u2019s a lost cause to re-balance the commission totally, but for this case we\u2019re recommending that you have a special member who can react on these kind of cyber-related issues to try to break the deadlock,\u201d King said. \u201cOtherwise, we\u2019re stuck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris Krebs, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the Department of Homeland Security, said at the same event that the Election Assistance Commission is a critical partner in election security that provides several services such as voluntary voting guidelines, voting system certification and audits of federal election funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krebs said CISA, which assists state and local officials with election security, provides the group with cybersecurity expertise and services, information sharing mechanisms and cybersecurity trainings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt continues to be something where we look at what their resources and capabilities and their ability to engage [are],\u201d Krebs said. \u201cThe stronger we both are, the stronger elections are ultimately going to be across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least two presidential campaigns are not using two-factor authentication, according to Maine Sen.
