An Iranian group linked to the country’s Revolutionary Guard has attempted to access the personal email accounts of various figures associated with President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and Vice President Kamala Harris. These targets include current and former government officials, as well as individuals connected to presidential campaigns. Google’s Threat Analysis Group reported ongoing active targeting by the Iranian group, using email credential phishing tactics to try to infiltrate accounts. The group, identified as APT42 by Google and Mint Sandstorm by Microsoft, has a history of cyber interference, with past attempts to disrupt US elections. Amid growing concerns about foreign adversaries influencing the upcoming presidential election, investigations are underway by the FBI regarding the intrusion attempts on both the Trump and Biden-Harris campaigns. US intelligence officials have cited persistent efforts from Russia and Iran to sway the election through various online activities, including disseminating misleading information. While Iran has denied involvement in the election interference, the reports highlight the escalating digital threats facing political campaigns and officials in the lead-up to the election.
