Hacker Iranians HACKED Roger Stones ACT to Target TRUMPs' 2024 Campaign

Iranians HACKED Roger Stones Email to Target TRUMPs' Campaign

The FBI also briefed the Biden-Harris campaign about Iranian hackers targeting that campaign -Growing evidence that Iranians are mounting an aggressive effort to influence the 2024 US election, overshadowing the Russians.

The FBI and other investigators probing the apparent hack-and-leak of Trump campaign documents, which Donald Trump has blamed on Iran

The hackers were able to compromise the personal email account of longtime Republican and Trump operative Roger Stone, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.



The hackers used access to Stone’s email account to try to break into the account of a senior Trump campaign official as part of a persistent effort to access campaign networks, one of the sources said.

The hacking incident, which occurred in June, set off a scramble in the Trump campaign, the FBI and Microsoft, which spotted the intrusion attempts, to contain the incident and to determine if there was a broader cyber threat from Iran.
“Mr. Stone was contacted about this matter by Microsoft and the FBI and continues to cooperate with both,” said Grant Smith, an attorney for the Republican operative. “Mr. Stone will have no further comment at this time.”



The FBI also briefed the Biden-Harris campaign about Iranian hackers targeting that campaign, one of the sources said.


“In July, the campaign legal and security teams were notified by the FBI that we were targeted by a foreign actor influence operation,” a Harris campaign official said in a statement on Tuesday.


“We have robust cybersecurity measures in place and are not aware of any security breaches of our systems resulting from those efforts. We remain in communication with appropriate law enforcement authorities.”
