Iranian group accused of hacking Trump campaign, says officials


The Trump campaign acknowledged that it was hacked by an Iranian group in June, around the time President Trump was selecting a Vice Presidential nominee. Documents from the campaign, including research papers on potential running mates, were shared with Politico in July from an anonymous source. Microsoft released a report linking the hack to an Iranian group connected with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Trump campaign described the leak as an attempt by hostile foreign sources to interfere with the 2024 election. The campaign warned against media outlets publishing the leaked documents, stating they would be doing the bidding of America’s enemies. The FBI acknowledged the reports but did not provide further comment. The Iranian government denied any involvement in interfering in the U.S. presidential election. Politico, who received the leaked documents, were warned not to publish further information by the anonymous source. The source claimed that revealing where the documents came from would compromise them legally. The Trump campaign spokesperson emphasized that the President would stop any potential threats from Iran, similar to actions taken during his first term. The incident raises concerns about potential foreign interference in U.S. elections and highlights the need for cybersecurity measures to protect political campaigns.
