In a troubling revelation, Iranian hackers targeted Biden's 2024 campaign by sending unsolicited emails containing stolen data from Trump's campaign to campaign associates, hoping to disrupt the election.
Kamala Harris' campaign denounced the Iranian emails, labeling them as "unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity" that were ignored by recipients, emphasizing their status as spam or phishing attempts.
The FBI's announcement underscores Iran's ongoing election interference, linked to a broader trend of foreign adversaries, such as Russia, attempting to manipulate the political landscape in the U.S.
This recent incident starkly contrasts the 2016 election response, highlighting U.S. officials' shift to proactively address foreign interference through public advisories and legal actions targeting adversaries.
