Russia increasing cyber election attacks – U.S. raises alarm
Top U.S. government intelligence officials have raised the alarm that there is an increasing foreign election interference, especially from Russia.
In a joint statement, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ODNI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA, raised the concerns amid warnings on Friday about the interference.
The three agencies said they had been observing foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, conducting additional influence operations intended to undermine public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and stoke divisions among Americans.
The agencies said the efforts would redouble throughout Tuesday, election day and afterwards, stressing that they would be focused on the seven key swing states of Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina.
U.S. voters are choosing whether to send former Republican president Donald Trump or Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to the White House.
“Russia is the most active threat. These efforts risk inciting violence, including against election officials.
“We anticipate Russian actors will release additional manufactured content with these themes through election day and in the days and weeks after polls close,” the agencies said.
According to the intelligence officials, Russian-influenced operators had recently posted false articles that said U.S. officials were trying to influence the elections through ballot stuffing and cyberattacks.
The statement further said that the bad actors also manufactured and amplified a recent video that falsely depicted an interview with an individual claiming election fraud in Arizona to favor Vice President Kamala Harris.

N85,000 minimum wage unexpected — Lagos union reacts
The Lagos State Public Service Joint Negotiating Council has said the announcement of N85,000 minimum wage approval by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was unexpected.
The council made this known in a statement signed by all chairpersons and secretaries of the union on Thursday.
They include Olusegun Balogun and Aladetan Abiodun, both representing the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter.
NAN reports that Sanwo-Olu, during an interview on a television station, announced that his administration would pay workers a minimum wage of N85,000.
The union said that labour learnt of the N85,000 minimum wage approval through the mass media.
“To provide context, on Monday, October 16, 2024, at approximately 4 pm, the union received a call inviting us to a meeting to discuss the minimum wage.
“As a responsible representative of the workforce, we attended the meeting. However, we made it clear that formal discussions could not proceed in the absence of all relevant stakeholders.
“In line with best practices and in the spirit of social dialogue, we insisted that negotiations should be inclusive.
“As a result, the meeting was adjourned to October 21, 2024, at 10 am. The public announcement of any figure was, therefore, unexpected,” it said.
The union said, however, that its comments did not undermine the governor’s right to make public statements on governance matters.
