Iranian state-linked cyber actors stole non-public files from the Trump campaign and attempted to leak them, including sending excerpted content in unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with the Biden campaign; US agencies (ODNI, FBI, CISA) and Microsoft have reported and attributed spear-phishing and email-account compromise in the incident. The advisory frames the operation as an attempt to stoke discord and undermine confidence in the US electoral process, and the report also notes concurrent Russian and Chinese influence operations seeking to exacerbate divisions ahead of the election.
