This is early in the story so there will be more news later. The key piece reported on thus far is a 271-page document based on publicly available information about JD Vance and identified as “POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES.” There's also a partial report on Marco Rubio, who'd been a potential VP pick.
The Trump campaign is thinking Iran is to blame.
a Microsoft report on Friday that Iranian hackers “sent a spear phishing email in June to a high-ranking official on a presidential campaign.”
I would be more curious what the phishing email was - like... how stupid was this official?
Probably not very stupid at all. Spear phishing is by definition targeted to specific people or groups, and so can be more successful in the end. More to the point, though, is that nobody has their guard up 24/7, and people make mistakes. That's not stupidity.
Stupidity definitely helps them get through More often though
Hence why I'd love to know what the email was that was successful!
