Hackers tried breaking into account of ‘high-ranking official’ on US presidential campaign, researchers say
Microsoft researchers said on Friday that Iran government-tied hackers tried breaking into the account of a “high-ranking official” on the US presidential campaign in June, weeks after breaching the account of a county-level US official.
The breaches were part of Iranian groups’ increasing attempts to influence the US presidential election in November, the researchers said in a report that did not provide any further detail on the apparent official in question.
