Was Trump’s campaign really hacked by Iran?

Donald Trump’s campaign has revealed that it was the target of a major cyberattack, which it claims was attributed to Iranian agents.

Internal communications from the former president’s election campaign, including a detailed dossier on J.D. Vance, his running mate, have been compromised.

Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) recently confirmed that an Iranian group, allegedly linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards…

…had targeted a US presidential campaign in June via a spear phishing forward.

Although MTAC did not specifically name the Trump campaign in the June announcement, the former president now claims to be the target of this attack.

Politico and the Washington Post have published hacked communications from the Trump campaign….

…including internal audits related to his running mate, J.D. Vance, after receiving emails from an anonymous source. Generally speaking, however, media outlets that have received documents have so far refrained from publishing them, including the New York Times.

Iran’s spokesman to the United Nations has denied any Iranian involvement in the hacking activities…

…stating that the Iranian government is not seeking to influence the US presidential election and has no intention of doing so.
