“Iranian hackers sent emails containing stolen [sic] material from Republican former President Donald Trump’s campaign to people involved in Democratic President Joe Biden’s then re-election campaign, part of an alleged broader effort by Tehran to influence the US election, US agencies have said. ‘Iranian malicious cyber actors have continued their efforts since June to send stolen [sic], non-public material associated with former President Trump’s campaign to US media organizations,’ the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a joint statement on Wednesday. … In August, the United States accused Iran of launching cyberoperations against the campaigns of both US presidential candidates and targeting people in the US with influence operations aimed at fanning political discord. Iran has denied interfering in US affairs.” (09/19/24)
