SUMMARY
The Trump campaign has allegedly been hacked, with internal communications leaked to POLITICO by an anonymous source using the alias "Robert." The breach includes a 271-page research dossier on Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, highlighting potential vulnerabilities such as Vance's past criticisms of Trump, and a partial dossier on Florida Senator Marco Rubio. The Trump campaign suspects Iranian hackers are behind the breach, referencing a recent Microsoft report that detailed a spear phishing attack on a U.S. presidential campaign, though the report did not name Trump’s campaign specifically. The campaign's spokesperson, Steven Cheung, linked the hack to Iranian retaliation for Trump's 2020 assassination of military officer Qassem Soleimani. The extent of the breach remains unclear, but it represents a significant security lapse.
