Trump's campaign blames Iran for hacking internal communications ahead of elections

"Trump campaign claims its internal communications were hacked by Iranian government-linked actors, raising concerns over foreign interference in the US Presidential Elections 2024. This announcement followed a report by Politico, which disclosed that it had been receiving emails from an anonymous source since July. The emails allegedly contained authentic

documents from within Trump’s campaign, including a report on potential vulnerabilities of his running mate, JD Vance. “These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the US, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our democratic process,” stated Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung.
It is pertinent to note that the Trump campaign's statement referenced a recently released report by Microsoft researchers, which claimed that hackers linked to the Iranian government had attempted to breach the account of a "high-ranking official" in a US presidential campaign in June. According to the report, the hackers first compromised the account of a former political advisor and then used it to target the official. Specific details about the targets' identities were not disclosed." IndiaTv
