the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who President Trump fired over his comments about the 2020 election said he fully expects American adversaries such as Russia and China to meddle in the next election through a range of activities to disrupt or influence the vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we thought 2020 was active, there are more motivations for foreign actors to muck around from an influence perspective, certainly, but perhaps even from an interference perspective,\u201d Chris Krebs, currently a partner at the consulting firm Krebs Stamos Group, told CyberScoop in an interview on Thursday. Drawing a distinction between what he sees as \u201cinfluence\u201d (the shaping of public opinion) and \u201cinterference\u201d (attacking election infrastructure), Krebs said he\u2019s \u201cfully expecting a very, very active threat landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given the state of Russia\u2019s faltering military campaign in Ukraine, he wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Russia didn\u2019t once again try to interfere in the vote and attempt to \u201cmuck it up.\u201d He also said that increased geopolitical tensions between Washington and Beijing could be enough reason for China to reengage with influence operations. Furthermore, he said, Iran could take \u201canother whack at it\u201d since it was actively involved in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>Krebs comments come on the heels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/05\/31\/us\/politics\/trump-aides-subpoenaed-special-counsel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a New York Times report<\/a> that Jack Smith, the special counsel investigating Trump\u2019s effort to overturn the 2020 election, has subpoenaed Trump administration officials involved in Krebs\u2019 firing from his position leading CISA. Following the 2020 election, Krebs\u2019 agency, which was responsible for overseeing election security issues, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/news-events\/news\/joint-statement-elections-infrastructure-government-coordinating-council-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issued a statement<\/a> attesting to the integrity of the election results.
