'Russia Doesn't Interfere': Kremlin shrugs off Israeli warning on election meddling - Israel Election 2019 | ||||
Russia denied on Wednesday that it is meddling in Israel's upcoming election after Israel's Shin Bet security chief warned that a "foreign country" intends to intervene in the campaign.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow "did not intervene, does not intervene and does not intend to intervene in elections in any country in the world." Shortly later, the Russian embassy in Israel reiterated Peskov's statements in a tweet accompanied by a meme reading "Keep calm and blame Russia or Russian hackers." >> Read more: Massive manipulation, foreign influence campaign and cyber: The threats to Israel's election ■ The main cyber threats putting Israel's upcoming election at risk more than ever "Following reports this evening, the Shin Bet would like to make clear that the State of Israel and he intelligence community have the tools and capabilities to identify, monitor and thwart foreign influence efforts, should there be any," a statement released by the Shin Bet said. "The Israeli defense apparatus is able to enable democratic and free elections to be held in Israel." Ahead of April's election, Israeli cybersecurity company Check Point Software Technologies crafted a study noting the likely threats based on interference in other countries’ recent elections. Company researchers pointed to several prominent threats, including potential voter data breaches, hacking of political parties' networks, denial-of-service attacks, and the dissemination of disinformation.

Lotem Finkelshtein, who is responsible for threat intelligence at the company, said the number of bots – fictitious social media users – could be enormous. Bots can be set up and maintained for three or four years and activated as an election gets underway. Last year, IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot told members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that he believes that Israel must be prepared for the possibility of foreign influence via cyberattacks. Eisenkot mentioned similar incidents that had occured in the U.S., France, and Ukraine. He did not explicitly mention a specific country responsible, but all these incidents had been previously attributed to Russia. Last month, Tamir Pardo, the former chief of the Mossad espionage agency, said that Russia deployed tens of thousands of bots to influence the 2016 U.S. elections in favor of Donald Trump. Pardo said the Kremlin took a look at the political map in Washington, "and thought, which candidate would we like to have sitting in the White House? Who will help us achieve our goals? And they chose him. From that moment, they deployed a system [of bots] for the length of the elections, and ran him for president." | ||||
