Republican Party candidate Donald Trump said Saturday that he had been informed by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) that one of his campaign websites was hacked by the Iranian government, but added that the hackers were only able to obtain “publicly available information.”

“Despite this, they shouldn’t do anything like that,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “That’s never a nice thing to do!”

Politico earlier reported that in July she began receiving emails from an anonymous source containing documents from inside the Trump operation, including a report on “potential vulnerabilities” involving vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.

“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States with the intent of interfering in the 2024 election and creating chaos in our democratic process,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement to Bloomberg.

In response to Seeking Alpha’s request for comment, Microsoft (MSFT) indicated its blog post AND report detailing Iran’s actions to attack the US elections.

A Microsoft (MSFT) report said that in June 2024, a group led by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sent a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking presidential campaign official from a compromised email account of a former senior adviser. The report did not name the campaign.

The United States killed Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in January 2020 – on the orders of then-President Donald Trump.
