The indictment alleged that an Iranian-government linked hacking group, known as Mint Sandstorm or APT42, compromised multiple Trump campaign staffers between May and June by stealing their passwords. In a Homeland Security advisory published earlier this month, the agency warned that the hackers continue to target campaign staff. If found guilty, they face prison time and fines.

Iran's mission to the United Nations said in a statement that reports of the country's involvement in hacking against the U.S. election were"fundamentally unfounded, and wholly inadmissible," adding that it"categorically repudiates such accusations." The FBI, which is investigating Iran’s hacking activity against both presidential campaigns in this election, declined to comment.

In early September, the accused Iranian hackers used a second email address, [email protected], in a fresh round of overtures, including to Reuters and at least two other news outlets, the two people familiar with the matter, said. In an email, the Washington Post referred Reuters to past comments made by its executive editor, Matt Murray, who said the episode reflected the fact that news organizations"aren’t going to snap at any hack" provided to them. A spokesperson for Politico said the origin of the documents was more newsworthy than the leaked material. Reuters did not publish this material because the news agency did not believe it was newsworthy, a spokesperson said.

Thus far, the already-published leaks do not appear to have changed the public dynamics of the Trump campaign.On Sept. 26, North Carolina-based American Muckrakers, began publishing internal Trump campaign emails. Active since 2021, the PAC has a history of publicizing unflattering material about high-profile Republicans. According to public disclosure reports, it is funded through individual, small-dollar donors from around the country.
