WASHINGTON − This morning, the FBI issued a warning regarding a deceptive online video that falsely claims to convey an FBI announcement urging Americans to “vote remotely” due to a supposed “high terror threat” at polling places. Additionally, there is another video making false allegations about one political party manipulating the voting of prison inmates.

According to a statement shared with YSL News, the FBI recognized “two cases where its name and logo were incorrectly utilized to promote false claims about the election.”

Firstly, the FBI pointed out a “fabricated news clip that claims to be a terrorist alert from the FBI.”

This false clip misleadingly suggests that the FBI has indicated that citizens should “vote remotely” because of a high terror threat linked to polling stations. The FBI clarified, “This video is not real and does not reflect the actual threat level or the safety at polling places.”

Another deceptive video circulating on the internet features a bogus FBI press release alleging that the administrators of five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona colluded with a political party to rig inmate voting. The FBI stated, “This video is also inauthentic, and its claims are false.”

The FBI’s alert is the latest among numerous recent warnings from U.S. intelligence, law enforcement, and cybersecurity agencies regarding efforts by both foreign and domestic enemies to spread disinformation online with the intent to influence voters.

According to these agencies, a significant portion of this disinformation originates from Russia, as part of a campaign to enhance former President Donald Trump’s election prospects while tarnishing his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

On Friday, U.S. intelligence officials confirmed their belief that Russia is linked to a viral fake video featuring a man who claims to be a recent immigrant from Haiti, alleging he and a companion voted illegally – twice – for Kamala Harris in Georgia.

The intelligence community stated, “We assess that Russian influence operatives created a recent video that inaccurately portrayed individuals claiming to be from Haiti and voting illegally in multiple Georgia counties.”

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), FBI, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) jointly asserted that Russian influence actors also fabricated a video falsely accusing someone linked to the Democratic presidential campaign of taking a bribe from a U.S. entertainer. They did not specify further, but noted that the source of the fake Georgia video also published a misleading post on Oct. 30 about Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff supposedly alerting now-indicted music producer Sean “Diddy” Combs of a Department of Homeland Security raid in exchange for $500,000.
