FBI Investigates Iranian Hacking Attempts on U.S. Presidential Campaigns

The FBI is actively investigating alleged hacking attempts by Iran targeting both the Trump and Biden campaigns ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

The investigation, which began in June, focuses on Iran's suspected efforts to steal data and potentially interfere in the election process. Both campaigns have been targeted, with the Trump campaign reporting a specific incident where a website was hacked, though only public information was reportedly accessed. Iran has denied any involvement in these hacking attempts.

The FBI's involvement underscores the high stakes of securing the integrity of the election process from foreign interference.
