The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted three Iranian nationals for their involvement in a 'hack-and-leak' operation aimed at influencing the 2024 presidential election by targeting Donald Trump's campaign. The indictment alleges that the Iranian hackers attempted to impersonate individuals, including Ginni Thomas, to infiltrate the campaign's email records. This operation is part of a broader pattern of cyber activities by Iran, leading to calls from U.S. lawmakers for stricter enforcement of sanctions against the Iranian regime. The charges highlight ongoing concerns regarding foreign interference in U.S. elections, as the hackers reportedly aimed to disrupt the electoral process through their actions.
