Microsoft Reveals Iranian US Election Interference Ops
Microsoft has claimed Iran is gearing up for a major effort to interfere in this year’s US presidential election.
The tech giant released a new report on Friday detailing four distinct operations.
“This recent cyber-enabled influence activity arises from a combination of actors which are conducting initial cyber-reconnaissance and seeding online personas and websites into the information space,” it warned.
“Looking forward, we expect Iranian actors will employ cyber-attacks against institutions and candidates while simultaneously intensifying their efforts to amplify existing divisive issues within the US, like racial tensions, economic disparities, and gender-related issues.”
