“Iranian cyber actors were responsible for creating a website earlier this month featuring death threats aimed at U.S. election officials.”  … The “Enemies of the People website, which surfaced after the U.S. election but now appears dormant, demonstrated “an ongoing Iranian intent to create divisions and mistrust in the United States and undermine public confidence in the U.S. electoral process.” The agencies said they had previously warned that “Iranian cyber actors” likely were keen to influence and interfere with the 2020 U.S. election. … The site, along with several associated social media accounts, included photographs of Republican and Democratic officials, with rifle crosshairs superimposed on them. It also included officials’ purported home addresses. Those targeted by the website included FBI director Christopher Wray and Christopher Krebs, the former CISA director who was fired by President Donald Trump after publicly vouching for 2020 election results showing Joe Biden defeated Trump. The site also targeted several employees of Dominion Voting Systems.”  See “U.S. suspects Iranians created website threatening U.S. election officials,” Mark Hosenball, Reuters, December 23, 2020.
