FBI Probes Iranian Hacking of US Campaigns
News summary

Google's Threat Analysis Group has confirmed that Iranian hackers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards have attempted to breach the personal email accounts of individuals associated with the US presidential campaigns of Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Kamala Harris. The hackers, identified as APT42, have used email credential phishing techniques since May 2024, targeting high-profile individuals including current and former government officials. Despite numerous unsuccessful attempts, the group successfully accessed the Gmail account of a high-profile political consultant. The FBI is investigating these cyberattacks, which are part of a broader effort by Iran to interfere in the 2024 US election. Both Google and Microsoft have reported similar findings, and Iran has denied involvement in these hacking activities.
