FBI issued a warning on election day about a fake video purporting to be a news clip broadcasting a warning from the agency warning of a “major terrorist threat” at polling stations.

“This video is not authentic and does not accurately represent the current threat situation or polling place security,” the agency said in a press release about the video, which appeared to be designed to scare Americans away from voting.

According to the FBI, the fake video falsely states that Americans should “vote remotely” because of the alleged threat. CBS News reported that the fake news clip it was engineered to look like it came from their networkadding, “No such warning has been issued by US officials and no such report has been produced by CBS News.”

While at least two Twitter accounts sharing the hoaxes have already been suspended, there is little evidence that the video has been widely seen, even on free platforms such as Twitter or Rumble, where misinformation and fake videos they circulated freely throughout the elections.

In the same statement, the agency also warned of another fake video “containing a fabricated FBI press release” that “claims management of five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona rigged inmate voting and colluded with a political party.” . The FBI says this “video is also not authentic and its content is false.” As with the “high terrorist threat” video, there is little evidence that the video from the prisons is in wide circulation, although one Twitter account is sharing it was suspended.

While the source of these videos was not immediately clear, they bore some similarities to fake videos produced by Storm-1516, a Russian government-backed propaganda unit. Furtuna-1516 seems to have been especially busy in the last few months of this election cycle, faking a video designed to make it look how Haitian immigrants voted illegally in Georgia and numerous other videos claiming to present “whistleblowers” drawing attention to alleged American political corruption.

An anonymous pro-Trump influencer paying for a Twitter account with a blue check told CNN in a report published Monday that he was paid $100 to post the Haitian immigrant video by Simeon Boikov, whom CNN describes as “a Russian propaganda podcaster.”
