原文地址：Iranian hackers sent ‘stolen’ Trump campaign material to Biden campaign: FBI
新闻日期：2024-09-18
美国联邦调查局和其他美方情报机构昨天发布了一份报告，指出伊朗黑客继续在2024年总统选举中发挥影响，其中包括发送给拜登竞选团队的信息，这些信息来自之前从特朗普竞选阵营中被盗取的资料。
美方情报机构在周三发表的一份声明中表示，6月末和7月初，伊朗黑客将一批未经授权的电子邮件发送给了当时与拜登竞选团队有关的人士，邮件中包含了一段来自特朗普竞选团队的非公开资料。
调查人员称，没有证据表明这些收件人曾作出回应。
此外，美国联邦调查局发现，伊朗政府继续向新闻机构提供从特朗普阵营中“窃取”的竞选材料。
事实上，在6月中旬，伊朗对当时担任总统的拜登和特朗普两方竞选团队进行了“钓鱼”攻击，后者内部资料因此被盗。
到了8月中旬，美国情报机构——包括联邦调查局、国土安全局和国家情报局——发出警告，称这场活动仍然存在。据这些机构表示，这次伊朗黑客攻击是伊朗“多角度”对美国选举过程进行干扰的最新例子。
与此同时，特朗普竞选团队发布了一份声明，要求拜登-哈里斯政府提供更多信息，关于这起事件的情报。
拜登-哈里斯竞选团队发言人马戈恩·费因克莱斯特说，该团队自从了解到这次外国影响活动中与拜登阵营相关的人员是目标后便一直在配合美国调查机构的工作。她还表示，并未收到任何来自伊朗黑客的材料，但有几名个人在他们的邮箱中遇到了“钓鱼”攻击。
声明最后提到，美国情报机构已经将俄罗斯、中国和伊朗确定为2024年最大的影响操作商。
原文摘要：
The FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies released findings that Iranian hackers have continued efforts to influence the 2024 presidential election, with “stolen” information from former President Donald Trump’s campaign being sent to President Biden’s campaign before he left the race.
“Iranian malicious cyber actors in late June and early July sent unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with President Biden’s campaign that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails,” U.S. intelligence agencies said in a statement Wednesday.
“There is currently no information indicating those recipients replied,” investigators said.
Additionally, the FBI found that the Iranian government has “continued their efforts” to send “stolen” campaign materials to media organizations.
In June, Iran launched a phishing campaign against the then Biden campaign and Trump campaign — with the Trump campaign operation getting internal campaign materials.
In mid-August, U.S. intelligence agencies — the FBI, CISA and ODNI — warned of this effort, and as of now, the effort still exists, according to the agencies.
“This malicious cyber activity is the latest example of Iran’s multi-pronged approach, as noted in the joint August statement, to stoke discord and undermine confidence in our electoral process,” investigators said.
“As the lead for threat response, the FBI has been tracking this activity, has been in contact with the victims, and will continue to investigate and gather information in order to pursue and disrupt the threat actors responsible. Foreign actors are increasing their election influence activities as we approach November.”
On Wednesday, Trump’s campaign released a statement, calling for more information from the Biden-Harris administration about the intelligence agencies’ findings.
“Kamala and Biden must come clean on whether they used the hacked material given to them by the Iranians to hurt President Trump. What did they know and when did they know it?” Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign National Press Secretary, said in a statement.
Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Morgan Finkelstein said in a statement, “We have cooperated with the appropriate law enforcement authorities since we were made aware that individuals associated with the then-Biden campaign were among the intended victims of this foreign influence operation.”
“We’re not aware of any material being sent directly to the campaign; a few individuals were targeted on their personal emails with what looked like a spam or phishing attempt,” Finkelstein added. “We condemn in the strongest terms any effort by foreign actors to interfere in U.S. elections including this unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity.”
Intelligence agencies have assessed Russia, China and Iran as the biggest peddlers of influence operations in 2024.
