A Single Iranian Hacker Group Targeted Both Presidential Campaigns, Google Says - Wired

Quick Summary:

APT42, which is believed to work for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, targeted about a dozen people associated with both Trump and Biden’s campaigns this spring, according to Google’s Threat Analysis Group.

While neither company has offered any confirmation of which individual or individuals may have been successfully hacked by the Iranian group, Trump advisor Roger Stone has revealed that he was alerted by Microsoft and then by the FBI that both his Microsoft and Gmail accounts were compromised by hackers.

When Donald Trump's presidential campaign publicly stated last week that it had been successfully targeted by Iranian hackers, the news may have initially seemed like a sign that Middle Eastern country was particularly focused on the candidate whom it perceived to take the most hawkish approach to its regime.
