ai generated text
US intelligence officials have confirmed that Iran was responsible for the hack of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The goal of the hacking was not only to sow discord but also to shape the outcome of the elections. Iranian officials have denied the allegations. The hacking attempts included the theft and disclosure of sensitive information, and were intended to influence the US election process.
We will not tolerate foreign efforts to influence or interfere with our elections, including the targeting of American political campaigns.
Iran perceives this year's elections to be particularly consequential in terms of the impact they could have on its national security interests, increasing Tehran's inclination to try to shape the outcome. 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.
These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process.
Today, TAG continues to observe unsuccessful attempts from APT42 to compromise the personal accounts of individuals affiliated with President Biden, Vice President Harris and former President Trump, including current and former government officials and individuals associated with the campaigns.
