Recent research by Microsoft has revealed that Iranian operatives are intensifying their attempts to influence and monitor the upcoming US presidential election. These efforts include the creation of fake news outlets targeting both liberal and conservative voters, as well as hacking attempts on an unnamed presidential campaign.
One of the fake news sites allegedly created by Iranian operatives used derogatory language to describe former President Donald Trump. Another site, posing as a conservative news source in Savannah, Georgia, focused on LGBTQ issues and gender reassignment.
