In a recent revelation, Google has reported that it thwarted a phishing operation conducted by a hacking unit linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The tech giant disclosed that the cyberattack targeted the presidential campaigns of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, aimed at compromising sensitive information.
Google's cybersecurity team detected and disrupted the operation before significant damage could occur. The company attributed the attack to a group known for its affiliation with the IRGC, a branch of Iran's military often associated with covert operations and cyber espionage.
The phishing attempt was part of a broader campaign to interfere with U.S. politics by infiltrating high-profile political entities. Google has since enhanced its security measures to protect its users and maintain the integrity of the electoral process.
This incident underscores the increasing sophistication of state-sponsored cyber threats and the ongoing need for robust cybersecurity practices to safeguard democratic institutions and political figures.
