Iranian hackers allegedly shared Trump campaign data with Biden associates, FBI reports

Donald Trump
Iranian hackers distributed hacked information about Donald Trump’s election campaign to individuals associated with the Biden campaign, according to the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies.

U.S. officials now believe that information taken from the Trump campaign was emailed to people involved in the campaign at the end of June and early July, before Biden withdrew from the presidential race.

Currently, there is no evidence that the hackers received any response from the recipients of that information.

In August, officials warned that Iran aimed to 'stir up discord' and undermine faith in U.S. institutions ahead of the November election.

U.S. officials stated that Iran had used 'social engineering and other efforts' to seek direct access to both Democratic and Republican campaigns, a tactic that they said has been employed by Iran and Russia in other countries around the world
