Wrote from Russia: FBI declares false mines at the US polling stations in the US

None of the threats was recognized as reliable. But now on social networks there were fake videos about fraud and terrorism in the US elections. The FBI reported on the US Election Day about false threats of explosion at polling stations in several states, many of which came from Russian e -mail domains. About it reports Reuters. "None of the threats has yet been recognized as reliable," the statement reads. The FBI did not name the state.

The FBI also warned the Americans about two new fake videos that are falsely mentioned the threats of terrorism and fraud in elections. This is the last of the misinformation series that has intensified on the US Election Day on November 5. One fabricated video, allegedly provided by the Federal Law Enforcement Agency, was falsely about a high threat prisoners in five prisons. Both of these materials are "not real", according to a statement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"Attempts to deceive the public with false information on the assessments of threats and activities of the FBI are aimed at undermining our democratic process and undermining the electoral system," the FBI said. Kate Conference, a high -ranking representative of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, said the media briefing on Tuesday that "foreign entities" may try to give the impression of falsification in elections.

"As we have repeatedly stated, today and in the next weeks we can see more similar activity, while special attention will be paid to narratives of influence on the states that fluctuate," Konley said. Last week, US intelligence services have already accused Russia of a fake video that allegedly shows the Haitian immigrant, who claims that he voted several times in the US state of Georgia. On the weekend, the FBI warned several other counterfeit videos.
