Hi [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], as election season heats up in the United States, you can be sure there's going to be plenty of activity happening in the world of cybersecurity.

For example, did you know that a telecom company was fined $1 million for being part of a deepfake robocall that impersonated President Biden? I'll link to it below.
