Trump campaign says they have been HACKED
Former President Donald Trump's campaign has said that some of their communications had been hacked.
The campaign blamed 'foreign sources hostile to the United States' and cited a Microsoft report on Friday that Iranian hackers attempted to hack a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign.
Politico reported that they had started receiving emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump’s operation.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told the outlet that they didn't have further information relating to the suggestion that they were targeted by Iran.
He said: 'These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process.
'On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a vice presidential nominee.'
Cheung declined to say whether the campaign had been in contact with Microsoft or law enforcement about the breach to the outlet.
Researchers for the tech giant disclosed on Thursday they found multiple Iranian groups peddling polarizing messages and inflammatory posts about controversial politically-divisive issues.
According to Microsoft's newest threat intelligence report, cybercriminals have been using covert news sites that cater to voter groups on opposing ends of the political spectrum to further alienate both sides.
Evidence discovered by the company suggests that these sites have been using AI-enabled services to plagiarize some of their content from US publications.
Microsoft did not name the publications in its report. Notably, the report did not suggest that any attacks had been made on Vice President Kamala Harris.
Apart from this, the report also noted that an Iranian group connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had previously attempted to break into email account of campaign officials.
