These hack-and-leak efforts by Iran are a direct assault on the integrity of our democratic processes. Iranian government actors have long sought to use cyber-enabled means to harm U.S. interests.
The three hackers, all of whom have ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, allegedly gained access to the accounts of campaign officials using social engineering and spearphishing.
They then used the hijacked accounts to steal non-public campaign documents and emails, which they shared with the press.
The US linked the hackers to an Iranian internet service provider, Respina Networks, which allegedly allowed them 'unrestricted' internet access outside Iran.
