Donald Trump Election Campaign Blames Iran Over Recent Hack

Donald Trump’s 2024 US election campaign has accused “foreign sources hostile to the United States”, specifically pointing at Iran, of this recent hack. The development, as per a POLITICO report, cites a campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung who highlighted a Microsoft report that linked Iranian hackers to a spear-phishing attack in June 2024. The report showed that the June 2024 attack targeted a high-ranking official in a US Presidential campaign.

However, Microsoft has not disclosed the name of the campaign. But the campaign of the former US President has drawn a connection, raising alarms about the potential impact on the upcoming election.

POLITICO said that it started receiving emails from an anonymous source in late July, containing what appears to be internal documents from the Trump campaign. A research dossier on the democratic VP candidate JD Vance was present among the leaked documents, the report showed.

In addition, another document was present on Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who was also a potential contender for the vice-presidential slot. Notably, the report said that two sources familiar with the campaign’s internal communications have confirmed the authenticity of the documents.
