Trump Campaign Accuses Iran of Hacking as FBI Probes Microsoft Report on 2024 Election
Aug 12, 2024, 02:57 PM
The Trump campaign has reported a breach of its internal communications, attributing the hack to Iranian hackers. This claim is based on a Microsoft report that highlighted increased Iranian efforts to influence the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The campaign alleges that sensitive documents, including a 271-page dossier on JD Vance, were compromised and leaked to news outlets. Despite the accusations, the Trump campaign has not provided direct evidence linking Iran to the hack. A campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, stated that the hack was conducted by foreign sources hostile to the United States. Former President Trump released a statement on Truth Social blaming Iran for the cyberattack. The FBI has confirmed it is investigating the incident. The breach has raised concerns about foreign interference in the upcoming election. The U.S. State Department has issued a warning to Iran regarding the alleged hacking activities.
