It's "the latest example" of Iran's efforts to "stoke discord and undermine confidence" in the U.S. electoral process, FBI says.

Iranian hackers sought to interest President Joe Biden’s campaign in information stolen from rival Donald Trump’s campaign, sending unsolicited emails to people connected to the Democratic president in an effort to interfere in the 2024 election.

US officials now believe that information taken from the Trump campaign was sent in unsolicited emails to people linked to the campaign in late June and early July - before Biden dropped out of the race for president. There is currently no evidence that the hackers received any reply from any recipients.
