Meta Platforms revealed that an Iranian hacking group aimed to breach the WhatsApp accounts of staffers from both the Biden and Trump administrations, demonstrating ongoing cyber threats against U.S. politics.
Meta stated, 'We have not seen evidence of the targeted WhatsApp accounts being compromised, but out of an abundance of caution, we're sharing our findings publicly,' highlighting proactive measures against cyber threats.
U.S. intelligence officials noted that Iran's increased cyberattacks aim to confuse voters, undermine democratic confidence, diminish support for Israel, and counter candidates escalating tensions.
The FBI corroborated that the Iranian hacking attempts against Trump and Biden campaigns were part of a broader strategy to interfere with the U.S. presidential election and influence political outcomes.
