"75% of US Senate Campaign Websites Fail to Implement DMARC"

A new report by security researchers at Red Shift claims that nearly 75% of US Senate campaign websites lack Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) protections, leaving them vulnerable to cyberattacks.  The researchers noted that there is an urgent need for campaigns to strengthen cybersecurity, especially with the critical role email communications play in coordinating with voters, donors, and staff.  DMARC is a key tool in preventing phishing and spoofing attacks by ensuring emails sent from a domain are authenticated.  The researchers noted that political campaigns risk cyber breaches without these safeguards that could compromise sensitive voter information, donor data, and strategic plans.
