Iranian hackers allegedly behind ongoing attack on Trump campaign

The digital attack on former US President Donald Trump and the Republican candidate for the November presidential election is not over yet. Reports of this hack first appeared online more than a month ago, 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 could go.

Iranian involvement

The hackers are said to have links to Iran and their actions target Trump’s inner team by leaking important files from his campaign team. Some of these files were reportedly sent to leading US media outlets such as Politico And The New York TimesHowever, Trump’s team is certain that Iran is behind the hack, even though this has not yet been proven.

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

Judd Legum, the head of the Popular information Newsletter, reported that a person named “Robert” shared some of those 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 deeper insight into Trump’s plans or ideas.

The fact that the cyberattack is still ongoing raises doubts about its extent. Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said the intrusion showed Iran had “fears” about Trump’s influence. Although the documents are confidential, most media organizations have refrained from releasing the information.

This breach underscores an ongoing digital threat to Trump and hints at possible future escalations. However, the media seems reluctant to reveal details that could escalate the situation. For now, the cyberattacks appear to be ongoing, with no sign of resolution.
