The Trump 2024 campaign has reported a significant security breach, alleging that Iranian hackers accessed its internal communications. Microsoft informed the campaign that the breach involved a phishing attack targeting a high-ranking official. The hackers reportedly obtained sensitive documents, including a 271-page dossier on JD Vance and files related to Marco Rubio. The FBI has confirmed it is investigating the alleged hack, which has raised concerns about foreign interference in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The campaign has not provided specific evidence linking Iran to the hack, but the incident has prompted warnings about potential election disruptions. Additionally, the personal email account of Roger Stone and three staffers on the Biden-Harris campaign were also targeted, though the attempts on the Biden-Harris campaign were reportedly unsuccessful.
