Iranian hackers emailed staffers affiliated with President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign in an attempt to distribute information stolen from former President Donald Trump’s campaign, the FBI and other federal agencies said on Sept. 18.
The stolen non-public material had been acquired by the Iranian actors through cyber breaches. The hackers sent unsolicited emails to people connected with the Biden campaign in an effort to interfere with the 2024 election, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
