Military Mobilization Against Foreign Election Interference On September 29, 2026, Hegseth directed the military to safeguard the upcoming US midterm elections from potential foreign interference. This directive comes in the wake of a recent Pentagon data breach that raised national security concerns regarding military personnel data. The breach reportedly exposed sensitive information, although specific numbers and details about the attack vector were not disclosed. The military's involvement indicates a heightened state of alert as the elections approach, reflecting the ongoing threat of foreign cyber operations targeting US democratic processes. The Pentagon has not confirmed the full extent of the breach or its implications. The situation remains dynamic as the military prepares to implement defensive measures. 2 sources 58
