Microsoft has given a stark warning about Iranian cyber efforts to undermine upcoming US elections.
The tech giant also listed down how the extremist country is working behind the scenes to under citizen’s trust in US democracy.
The US intelligence community also warned that the fake news campaign will accelerate as the US nears the election month.
Microsoft Lists Three Examples
The US tech company outlined four different examples showcasing how Iran will interfere in US elections.
- Microsoft said the Iranian cyber warfare might include phishing emails to US officials to get access to classified information and party’s data.
- The second case will include unauthorized login attempts which happened back in June when malicious actors linked to Iran attempted to access a former Presidential candidate’s account.
- The most dangerous and less expensive way the regime might use is to create news websites to spread disinformation ahead of US elections.
