178 Examining Russian Threats to the 2020 Election

We are joined this week by Roman Sannikov, director of cybercrime and underground intelligence at Recorded Future.  The focus of our conversation is a report recently published by Recorded Future’s Insikt research team, titled Russian-Related Threats to the 2020 US Presidential Election. In reviewing the report’s findings, we’ll explore the methods Russian actors have employed in their effort to disrupt and influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the context within which these efforts are best considered, and how as individuals, organizations and nation wide we can best counter these efforts to help ensure a safe, smooth election process.
