Microsoft\u2019s Threat Analysis Center <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/microsoft-iran-makes-late-play-to-meddle-in-u-s-elections\/\">was first to publicly report<\/a> on the activity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/08\/10\/trump-campaign-hack-00173503\">with further reporting tying<\/a> those incidents to the Trump campaign. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last week, Google\u2019s Threat Analysis Group said that <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/iran-israel-hacking-phishing\/\">hackers linked<\/a> to Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted the Trump and Biden presidential campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations called Monday\u2019s statement from the U.S. intelligence community \u201cunsubstantiated and devoid of any standing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we have previously announced, the Islamic Republic of Iran harbors neither the intention nor the motive to interfere with the U.S. presidential election,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cShould the U.S. government genuinely believe in the validity of its claims, it should furnish us with the pertinent evidence \u2014 if any \u2014 to which we will respond accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The accusations that Iran breached the Trump campaign surfaced after U.S. news outlets were supplied with internal campaign documents, prompting the Republican nominee to point the finger at Iran. Little is known about the material obtained via the breach of the campaign, and so far none of it appears to have been published by the media outlets to whom it was furnished. <\/p>\n<p>No evidence has been made public linking the breach to Iran, but Monday\u2019s statement represents the most authoritative claim yet that it was an operation orchestrated by Tehran. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last month, government officials <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/us-intel-officials-kremlin-once-again-prefers-trump\/\">described Iran<\/a> as a \u201cchaos agent\u201d more interested in exploiting U.S. political and social tensions than it is in fostering a specific electoral outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s statement adds a level of urgency to that description, highlighting what the intelligence community believes is Iran\u2019s goal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to these sustained efforts to complicate the ability of any U.S. administration to pursue a foreign policy at odds with Iran\u2019s interests, the [Intelligence community] has previously reported that Iran perceives this year\u2019s elections to be particularly consequential in terms of the impact they could have on its national security interests, increasing Tehran\u2019s inclination to try to shape the outcome,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full statement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dni.gov\/index.php\/newsroom\/press-releases\/press-releases-2024\/3981-joint-odni-fbi-and-cisa-statement-on-iranian-election-influence-efforts\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><em>AJ Vicens contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.7758620689655\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/us-intelligence-agencies-blame-iran-for-trump-campaign-security-incident-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Greg Otto\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Greg Otto<\/h4>\n<p> Greg Otto is Editor-in-Chief of CyberScoop, overseeing all editorial content for the website.
