Microsoft has reported that a hacking group affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard successfully breached the account of a former senior adviser to a presidential campaign. The group used spear phishing techniques to send fake emails in an attempt to gain access to the campaign's accounts and databases. Former President Donald Trump claimed that his campaign was hacked by the Iranian government, but Microsoft stated that only publicly available information was obtained. There is uncertainty about the extent of the breach and whether leaked documents were related to the Iranian hack. The Iranians are believed to be motivated by a desire to see Trump defeated due to his actions against Iran during his presidency.

Hacktivist groups are targeting Israeli online assets, such as the Jerusalem Post, amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. They disrupt and deface websites as a means of expressing support for their preferred side or gaining attention. While there have been claims of disruption, there is limited evidence of serious or long-term damage. These activities demonstrate how some hacktivists use digital tools to bring the conflict into the online space. Security analysts have noted more than 100 Israeli websites being affected, mostly through distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. These actions are often hard to verify. Security experts anticipate increased cyberespionage activities behind the scenes.
