US charges three Iranian hackers for attempting to breach Trump campaign

The U.S. Department of Justice has charged three Iranian hackers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for attempting to hack Donald Trump's presidential campaign. This operation is part of a broader campaign targeting U.S. officials and aimed at influencing the 2024 election. The indictment claims the hackers used phishing tactics to steal campaign materials and intended to leak them to the media. Unlike previous incidents, major news outlets chose not to report on the stolen documents, focusing instead on the hacking itself. U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed that Iranian hackers targeted both Trump and Biden campaign affiliates. This follows a pattern of foreign interference in U.S. elections, similar to tactics used by Russia in 2016.
