The largest threats to government officials include impersonations online, military scams, the spreading of dis-information online to influence political campaigns, and phishing for malware distribution and information theft. Threat actors are counting on government officials to make small human errors that can happen to anyone – like clicking a phishing link in an email – so that they can gain access to private information. Additionally, the spreading of misinformation to government employees can cause major damage. The attacker will target government personnel with manipulated facts or complete fabrications in order to create disillusionment and distrust.
