Washington: Iranian hackers tried to influence the US presidential election in June by sending emails to the team of President Joe Biden’s then re-election campaign while the hackers stole materials from Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign, the US law enforcement agencies said.
The FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, in a joint statement, said, “Furthermore, Iranian malicious cyber actors have continued their efforts since June to send stolen, non-public material associated with former President Trump’s campaign to U.S. media organizations.”
When asked for a comment on the hacking revelation, Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations in New York didn’t respond, according to Reuters.
