Iran is stepping up its cyber activities in an obvious attempt to influence U. S. elections and presidential campaigns with email phishing attacks, according to Microsoft.
In recent months, Iranian actors have created news sites and posed as activists to sow the department and potentially influence American voters, especially in swing states, as Microsoft’s latest risk report reveals.
The effects imply that Iran, which actively participated in the last U. S. elections, is perfecting its tactics for the upcoming elections with global implications. The United Nations project in Iran denies any goal of interfering in the elections, despite evidence submitted through Microsoft.
