Iranian Hackers Allegedly Behind Ongoing Trump Campaign Breach

The digital attack on former U.S. President Donald Trump and the Republican candidate for the November presidential election has not ended. More than a month ago, reports of this hack first appeared online, but new data shows that the actions have not stopped. According to Winfuture, the latest leaks, brought to light by hackers, show how deep the attack on President Trump’s Campaign may go.

Iranian Involvement

The hackers are said to be linked to Iran and their actions target Trump’s close team, leaking key files from inside his campaign. According to reports, some of these files were sent to top US outlets like Politico and The New York Times. However, Trump’s team is sure that Iran is behind the hack, though this has not been proven yet.

Among the leaked files is a dossier on JD Vance, an Ohio politician, which matches the style of past leaks. One notable document was a legal note to The New York Times, which came after the first wave of leaks in August. The note, dated September 15, shows that the hackers were still active long after the first report of the attack.

Judd Legum, who runs the Popular Information newsletter, reported that a person named “Robert” shared some of these documents with him. But Legum, like other news sources, chose not to publish the stolen files. He said the files, while newsworthy, did not provide any new or deep insight into Trump’s plans or ideas.

The fact that the cyberattack is still progressing raises uncertainties regarding its magnitude. A representative for Trump, Steven Cheung, stated that this intrusion demonstrates Iran’s “apprehension” of Trump’s influence. Despite the confidential nature of the documents, most media organizations have refrained from disclosing the information.

This breach underscores a persistent digital threat to Trump and suggests potential future escalations. However, media outlets appear hesitant to divulge specifics that might exacerbate the situation. At present, the cyberattacks seem ongoing, with no indication of a resolution.
