After his campaign was hacked by "foreign sources" and accused of leaking internal communications and a file about JD Vance, the candidate for vice president, former U.S. President Donald Trump commented. The Republican candidate for the U.S. elections tweeted on his Truth Social account, stating that Microsoft has just informed his campaign that one of its websites was hacked by the Iranian government.
However, he downplayed the severity of the breach, emphasizing that it only accessed some public information that is widely available. He also indicated that Iran and other countries will not cease their activities because the U.S. government is weak and ineffective, in his words.
He promised that this situation would not last long, referring to a change in U.S. foreign policy when he wins the upcoming presidential election. Trump, who is seeking to return to the White House, did not provide further details about the breach. This comment came after Trump's campaign confirmed on Saturday that Microsoft researchers informed them that hackers linked to the Iranian government attempted to breach a "senior official's" account. Meanwhile, Politico had previously reported that it received emails containing information about the Republican candidate's campaign from an undisclosed source.
