The Trump campaign confirmed on Saturday that it had been hacked, with internal documents being accessed and distributed. The campaign suggested that Iranian actors were involved in the hacking incident, citing a Microsoft report released on Friday detailing foreign agents' attempts to interfere in the U.S. election. The breach was first reported by Politico, which received the documents from an individual named 'Robert.' The incident has raised concerns about the security of sensitive campaign information and the potential involvement of foreign actors in U.S. political affairs.
The Microsoft report mentioned an Iranian military intelligence unit sending a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign in June 2024. The Trump campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, blamed the hack on "foreign sources hostile to the United States," and warned that media outlets reprinting the documents were doing the bidding of America's enemies. The National Security Council did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.
