A new report from the Bipartisan Policy Center shows that local election offices are adopting .gov domains for their websites, but only slowly.

A phishing attack last April compromised the email addresses of two employees at the Illinois Secretary of State's office.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams' administration has limited access to the employee payroll website after scammers targeted employees' text-message inboxes.

One out of 13 state and local government workers experienced a mobile phishing attempt in 2020, according to new research from security firm Lookout.

State officials determined that no data was compromised during a phishing attack that hit three state agencies on Wednesday, including the bureau that oversees elections.

A hacker has been building phony versions of websites including those of San Mateo, California; Tampa, Florida; North Las Vegas; and Dallas County, Texas.

It's at least the third time in 12 months that a phishing attack has dinged the state's email reputation score.

State employees are no longer able to correspond with residents who are using several popular email services.

Damage was minimal, but the attacks underscore a repeated call from the governor for increased cybersecurity awareness and training throughout the state.

The state's IT commissioner warns that more comprehensive protections are needed as attackers grow "more sophisticated, more skilled, more organized, and more professional."
