Trump campaign reportedly hacked by Iranian government
The hack appears to have resulted in leaked campaign documents.
In a statement to CNN, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said, “These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election.” The Trump campaign linked the hack to Iran, citing a report published by Microsoft last week that says a group run by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps “sent a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign.” The email, which was sent using the compromised account of a former senior advisor, contained a link that routed traffic through a domain controlled by the hacking group before redirecting to the actual website. The last high-profile cyberattack to hit a US presidential election took place in 2016 when Russian hackers leaked a trove of internal emails from the Democratic National Committee.
