Thousands of malicious domains targeting the 2026 US Midterm elections emerge

Over 5,000 malicious domains targeting the 2026 US Midterm elections have been detected, potentially for fraud and phishing. Cybersecurity researchers identified these domains, with Russia and other nations suspected of large-scale disinformation campaigns. Operations include fake donation sites and cloned news outlets. The US Midterm elections are scheduled for November 2026. These campaigns aim to influence voters rather than directly alter vote counts.
