Donald J. Trump said Iranians hacked his campaign but only obtained “publicly available” data. Microsoft said a “high-ranking official” at a presidential campaign was a hacking target.
On Friday, Microsoft released a report declaring that a hacking group run by the intelligence unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard had successfully breached the account of a “former senior adviser” to a presidential campaign. From that account, Microsoft said, the group sent fake email messages, known as “spear phishing,” to “a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign” in an effort to break into the campaign’s own accounts and databases.
So the campaign was “hacked” by one of the most common and avoidable ways you can get hacked.
Being that they ALWAYS lie, I’m willing to bet a solid 20 that the RNC or Trump’s group just left them somewhere and is inventing the hacked angle
…Isn’t that kind of how the bulk of hacking happens? Either someone leaves a piece of paper somewhere or they give info to someone they shouldn’t.
