All three accused were posted in Iran’s paramilitary force Revolutionary Guard.
Washington: Apna Punjab Media: The US Justice Department today indicted three Iranians on suspicion of allegedly hacking Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and disseminating stolen information to media organizations. The Justice Department said the three accused hackers were serving in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guards and that their propaganda campaign targeted a variety of people, including government officials, members of the media, and non-governmental organizations. Donald Trump’s campaign revealed on August 10 that it had been hacked and said that the three Iranian moguls had stolen and disseminated sensitive internal documents. Several major media outlets, including Politico, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, said they had leaked confidential information from the Trump campaign, but declined to broadcast it.
US intelligence officials later linked Iran to hacking the Trump campaign and trying to hack the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign. Last week, officials also revealed that in late June and early July, the Iranians sent unsolicited emails containing hacked information to people associated with the Biden campaign.
