00:00The 2024 US presidential election has taken an unexpected twist. On August 19,
00:06the United States government accused Iran of launching cyber operations
00:10against both the Trump and Harris campaigns. These operations didn't stop at hacking.
00:15Iran is also accused of running influence campaigns aimed at deepening political
00:19divisions among Americans. The FBI, along with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
00:24and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, has confirmed these aggressive
00:29activities. Just this month, Iran reportedly hacked one of Trump's campaign websites,
00:34though Trump's team insists they only accessed public information. But it doesn't stop there.
00:39Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign was also targeted.
00:43As she prepares to accept the Democratic nomination, Iranian cyber operatives have
00:47reportedly used social engineering to attempt to access individuals close to both campaigns.
00:52Iran denies these accusations, calling them unsubstantiated and devoid of any standing.
00:58However, the US intelligence community remains confident in its findings,
01:02highlighting a broader effort by Iran to influence the US election process
01:06through thefts, disclosures, and more.
