Chris Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, noted that U.S. authorities have only recently discovered the extent of Iranian hacking aimed at both Trump and Biden campaigns, highlighting the late awareness of malicious operations.
The U.S. government confirmed that Iranian hackers sent unsolicited emails containing excerpts from stolen materials to individuals associated with Biden’s campaign, illustrating the ongoing threat of cyber intervention.
Krebs emphasized that the targeting of campaign materials by Iranian cyber actors has been underway since June, indicating a persistent effort to undermine U.S. political campaigns.
A joint statement from intelligence officials reassured that there was no evidence of response from the recipients of the emails sent by Iranian operatives, showcasing the security boundaries maintained.
