The FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed Iran was responsible for recent attempted hacks into the Trump and Biden-Harris presidential campaigns, the agencies said in a joint statement.
Campaign staffers received phishing emails that were designed to appear legitimate but could give an intruder access to the recipients’ communications, The Washington Post has previously reported, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive investigation.
Among the hacking targets was adviser Susie Wiles, one of the most senior officials on former president Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. FBI officials had previously said they suspected Iran was linked to the attacks.
