Iran is responsible for cyber attacks on election campaigns

On August 19, three US intelligence agencies reported that Iran was responsible for the cyber attacks on the country's election headquarters, describing them as part of a larger Iranian intervention in the field.

This was reported by the "Reuters".

“We have observed increasingly aggressive Iranian activity during this election cycle, specifically involving influence operations targeting the American public and cyber operations targeting presidential campaigns,” the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is responsible for the defence of US government computer systems, said in a statement on Monday.

“This includes the recently reported activities to compromise former President Trump’s campaign, which the [intelligence community] attributes to Iran,” they said.

The Trump campaign accused Iran of hacking one of its websites earlier this month. At the time, Trump said Iran was “only able to get publicly available information”.

Iran, the US statement said, had also targeted the campaign of Harris, who will formally accept the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination at this week’s convention.

The US agencies did not detail how they concluded that Iran was responsible, nor did they describe the nature of any information that may have been stolen from the Trump campaign.
