Microsoft and Google  previously revealed Iran breached a campaign. Intelligence officials surmised that Tehran was attempting to meddle in the 2024 presidential election with its cyber attacks.

“Iran seeks to stoke discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions,” officials from the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency  said in a joint statement.

“Protecting the integrity of our elections from foreign influence or interference is our priority. 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,” the agencies added in a joint statement.

The intelligence agencies did not provide any significant new details about how the attack unfolded.
