President Donald Trump has stated that his campaign was hacked by the Iranians, but he maintains that the hackers only obtained publicly available data.
However, Microsoft has confirmed that Iranian hackers sent a spear phishing email to a “high-ranking official” on a presidential campaign. The email was designed to trick the recipient into giving up their login credentials.
This latest incident highlights the ongoing threat of cyber attacks on political campaigns, and serves as a reminder of the importance of cybersecurity measures in the digital age.
