The November 3 US midterms passed without significant cyber incidents, GovTech reports. Overnight reports from the election-security information-sharing center described one office facing failed exploitation attempts, a small number facing denial-of-service attacks or heavy web traffic, brief website interruptions, misleading text messages and a handful of bomb threats; none appeared to significantly limit voting. Former CISA director Chris Krebs told NPR it was "just another Tuesday on the internet."

Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs confirmed a cyberattack on his office's website, KOMO reports; some pages were briefly unavailable amid bot traffic, and he said the counties' tabulators are not connected to the internet. Colorado's election-night results site went down for about 45 minutes; its vendor, SOE Software, blamed unusually high automated traffic from results-scraping services across several vendors, and the state said ballots and results were unaffected.

The biggest problems were not cyberattacks: ballot scanners rejected ballots in most of Westchester County, New York, after a late programming change, and some Pennsylvania scanners jammed.
