How Joe Biden's campaign is protecting itself from cyber attacks

Top tech officials working for Joe Biden's campaign aren't taking any second chances following the 2016 hacking of the Democratic National Committee

The campaign is constantly trying to fend off email phishing attacks that could give hackers inside access to the campaign's data, according to Dan Woods, the Biden campaign's chief technology officer."The most famous thing to come out of 2016 was phishing," Woods said at an election security conference in Philadelphia on Thursday."Besides misinformation and disinformation, phishing remains, without question, the biggest threat we face.

If they're fooled, Woods said,"we get an alert that says they need a little more training, and then the next time it comes around, they don't do it again."Campaign staff are also required to exercise the fundamentals of digital hygiene, such as enabling two-factor authentication on all their work and personal email and social media accounts. Woods also makes sure workers are using password managers, so that each of their passwords is unique and sufficiently complex.
