WASHINGTON, USA: The FBI is investigating claims that the Iranian government hacked internal communications of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The former president stated that Microsoft informed his campaign about the breach, but noted that the hackers accessed only publicly available information. The incident was connected by Trump’s team to a recent Microsoft investigation that said attempts to penetrate the account of a “high-ranking official” in a U.S. presidential campaign were made by hackers with ties to the Iranian government.
Iran has denied involvement in the hack, and further details on the targeted individuals remain undisclosed.
