The executive director of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, Juhan Lepassaar, reports a doubling of disruptive digital attacks in the EU in 2024, with many linked to Russian-backed groups. These attacks, including hacktivist actions against European infrastructure, have increased since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Security agencies are on high alert ahead of elections in the EU, the United States, Britain, and other countries, with concerns about disruption campaigns funded by adversaries. ENISA has been leading efforts to strengthen the resilience of election-related agencies, and experts warn of AI-enabled disinformation campaigns targeting Western voters. The focus is on anticipating emerging digital threats and vulnerabilities, with a call for cybersecurity to become ingrained in societal behavior.
