The United States Justice Department has charged three Iranian nationals in connection with an alleged hacking operation targeting Donald Trump's presidential campaign. This incident, which reportedly continued up to the last days leading to the charges, involves claims of an orchestrated 'hack-and-leak' scheme aimed at influencing the upcoming 2024 election. U.S. officials have also imposed sanctions on Iranian-backed cyber actors for their attempts to meddle in U.S. elections. The Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed that the hackers attempted to pass stolen campaign files to the Biden team, further intensifying concerns over foreign interference in American politics. Experts suggest these actions may indicate Iran's strategic interests in the election outcome. The situation highlights ongoing cyber threats and the implications of international hacking on U.S. electoral processes.
