The FBI is investigating suspected hacking attempts by Iran targeting advisers to the Democratic campaign of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as the targeting of an associate of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the Washington Post reported on Monday.
The FBI began the investigation in June, when Biden was still running for president, suspecting Iran was behind the attempts to steal data from two U.S. presidential campaigns, the newspaper said, citing sources.
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Investigators have not found evidence that hacking attempts into the Democratic campaign were successful, the Washington Post reported.
Trump’s campaign said over the weekend that Iran had hacked one of its websites and the FBI said it was investigating that.
Iran denies interfering in U.S. elections.
