Iran as a Major Threat to Election Integrity

U.S. intelligence agencies have shifted their focus to Iran as a significant threat to election integrity for the upcoming year, which contrasts the usual prioritization of Russia. Recently, it was reported that the Trump campaign experienced unauthorized access to its materials by foreign actors, with the campaign attributing this breach to Iran. Cybersecurity threats unfolded through a spear phishing attack on a former campaign advisor, leading to the collection of sensitive information. The nature of the hack was less damaging than previous incidents, highlighting a change in tactics and targets by malicious foreign actors.
