State Department offers $10 million reward for tips on foreign election interference

The State Department is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information on foreign interference in U.S. elections, the department announced Thursday. 

The department said in a release that it's looking for information leading to the identification or location of "any foreign person, including a foreign entity, who knowingly engaged or is engaging in foreign election interference, as well as information leading to the prevention, frustration or favorable resolution of an act of foreign election interference." Examples of that could include tampering with databases, running bot farm campaigns or malicious cyber activity. 

The reward announcement comes ahead of the 2022 midterms, which will determine control of the House and Senate.
