Iran is accelerating cyber activity that appears meant to influence the US election, Microsoft says

Iran is engaging in online activities to influence the upcoming U.S. election, according to Microsoft. Their tactics include email phishing attacks targeting a presidential campaign, creating fake news sites, impersonating activists, and hacking government employees' accounts. The aim is to sow division and potentially sway American voters, particularly in swing states. Russia and China are also exploiting U.S. political polarization to advance their own divisive messaging. Concerns are raised about the use of generative AI technology to create fake content to mislead voters. U.S. intelligence officials warn that Russia remains the greatest threat for election disinformation.
