Google says hackers backed by China targeted Biden's campaign staff, and hackers backed by Iran targeted Trump's campaign staff. Both were targeted with phishing attacks.
"Phishing" is when an attacker sends an email to a target often disguised as one meant to appear from a trusted source. The message can include a link designed to trick the target to click and download malicious software, or point the target to a website controlled by the attacker that might try to capture information.
Google's announcement provided a reminder that Russia's interference game plan from the 2016 election is out in the open, and that other countries could attempt to replicate some or all of it this presidential election cycle.In a statement, the Biden campaign said Google had notified it of the attempted intrusions.
"We have known from the beginning of our campaign that we would be subject to such attacks and we are prepared for them," the campaign said in a statement."Biden for President takes cybersecurity seriously. We will remain vigilant against these threats and will ensure that the campaign's assets are secured."
The Trump campaign had not responded to a request for comment at the time this story was ready to be published.
