"Feds Offering $10M Reward For Foreign Election Interference Tips"

The State Department recently announced that it is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information on foreign interference in U.S. elections.  The department stated that  it is  looking for information leading to the identification or location of "any foreign person, including a foreign entity, who knowingly engaged or is engaging in foreign election interference, as well as information leading to the prevention, frustration or favorable resolution of an act of foreign election interference." The department noted that some examples could include tampering with databases, running bot farm campaigns, or malicious cyber activity.  The reward announcement comes ahead of the 2022 midterms, which will determine control of the House and Senate.  Funding for the State Department reward comes from the election security fund provided by the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act.
