Iranian hackers charged with hacking Trump campaign to ‘stoke discord’

**Executive summary:** The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted three IRGC-associated hackers for a multi-year, nation-state hack-and-leak campaign that used phishing and social engineering to compromise political campaigns, senior government officials, and members of Congress, with the intent to steal and disseminate documents to influence the 2024 U.S. presidential election; U.S. agencies and major tech firms have attributed the activity to Iranian state-backed actors.
