Trump campaign says its internal messages hacked by Iran<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Donald Trump\u2019s campaign has said some of its internal communications have been hacked and suggested it was targeted by Iranian operatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Reuters<\/p>\n

\n

US news website Politico reported on Saturday that it had been emailed campaign documents including internal research carried out on Trump\u2019s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance.<\/p>\n

A Trump campaign spokesman told the BBC the documents were illegally obtained by \u201cforeign sources hostile to the United States\u201d. In a statement to US media, Iranian officials denied any connection to the hack.<\/p>\n

Politico said it had confirmed the authenticity of the documents. The BBC has not independently verified the claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Trump campaign did not give any further details or any evidence linking the document leak to Iranian hackers or the Iranian government.<\/p>\n

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Monday that it is investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

The Trump campaign statement came one day after Microsoft released a report indicating that Iranian hackers targeted the campaign of an unnamed US presidential candidate in June.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) said that the campaign was sent a spear phishing email \u2013 a message designed to look trustworthy in order to get the target to click on a malicious link.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past several months, we have seen the emergence of significant influence activity by Iranian actors,\u201d the MTAC report said.<\/p>\n

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said the June hacking attempt mentioned in the MTAC report \u201ccoincides with the close timing of President Trump\u2019s selection of a vice presidential nominee\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranians know that President Trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House,\u201d Mr Cheung said.<\/p>\n

He said the hack was \u201cintended to interfere with the 2024 election\u201d.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Iran\u2019s permanent mission to the United Nations said in a statement to the Washington Post: \u201cWe do not accord any credence to such reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranian Government neither possesses nor harbors any intent or motive to interfere in the United States presidential election.\u201d<\/p>\n

Politico said that in late July it began receiving emails from a person who identified themselves only as \u201cRobert\u201d using an AOL email account.<\/p>\n

The news outlet said the Vance file was 271 pages long and based on publicly available information about Vance\u2019s past record and statements. The email account also sent part of a research document about Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who was also a vice presidential contender, it said.<\/p>\n

Presidential campaigns routinely research potential vice-presidential nominees in order to ferret out any potentially embarrassing revelations. Politico reported that some of Mr Vance\u2019s\u00a0previous \u2013 and well-known \u2013 criticisms<\/a>\u00a0of Trump were labelled in the document as \u201cpotential vulnerabilities\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Microsoft report noted: \u201cIranian cyber-enabled influence operations have been a consistent feature of at least the last three US election cycles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Microsoft had released a similar report during the 2020 election saying\u00a0Iranian hackers had targeted presidential campaigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

US security sources have also warned of an Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, unconnected to last month\u2019s attempted shooting in Pennsylvania. And on Tuesday, the US justice department charged a Pakistani man alleged to have ties to Iran with plotting to assassinate US officials, potentially including the former president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
