Google revealed on Wednesday that an alleged Iranian hacking operation targeting US presidential campaigns is ongoing and more extensive than previously known. The hackers are focusing on the email accounts of current US officials and individuals associated with Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, and former President Donald Trump.
In May and June, a hacking group linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted the personal email accounts of about a dozen people associated with Biden and Trump, including current government officials. Google researchers reported unsuccessful attempts by Iranian hackers to access the accounts of individuals linked to Biden, Harris, Trump, and both presidential campaigns.
