The 2020 US election is expected to be fraught with digital attacks from a variety of actors in cyberspace, ranging from online trolls, hacktivists, foreign countries, and the US government itself. Journalists who cover the elections are at a higher risk for these attacks, given the already hostile environment online we've witnessed for folks covering various aspects of US politics over the past four years. The goal of this panel would be to talk about election-related digital threats that the information security space is seeing target journalists, and talk about these attacks, how to prevent them, and proactive online protection practices during the months coming up to the election.
