Google’s threat team confirms Iran targeting Trump, Biden, and Harris campaigns

Google has confirmed that Iranian-backed hackers have targeted Google accounts associated with US presidential campaigns and intensified attacks on Israeli targets. The hackers, known as APT42 and associated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, use various techniques such as malware, phishing pages, and redirects to gain access to cloud-based accounts like Google, Dropbox, and OneDrive. They have been targeting high-profile individuals in Israel and the US, including political consultants and former government officials. Both parties are considered equal targets, and experts suggest that the threat from Iranian hackers should be taken as seriously as the threat from Russian hackers.
