Ordin fără precedent înaintea alegerilor din SUA. Pentagonul se teme de interferențe străine

The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has issued a memorandum directing the military to protect the upcoming midterm elections from foreign interference. The U.S. Cyber Command will deploy advanced cyber capabilities to identify and disrupt foreign threats to the electoral process. This initiative comes as concerns grow over the adequacy of measures to safeguard elections, especially following reductions in government agencies during the Trump administration. The Election Security Group, which previously coordinated efforts against foreign influence, may play a role in these new activities, although its current status remains unclear. Experts warn that late planning could limit the effectiveness of these protective measures.
