3 hackers with ties to Iran indicted in plot against Trump campaign: DOJ

by September 27, 2024
written by September 27, 2024

Three men connected to Iran have been indicted in relation to a hacking plot against former President Donald Trump’s campaign, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi are the three suspects named in the case, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday afternoon.

The indictment shows the trio are facing a long list of charges, including: Conspiracy to Obtain Information from a Protected Computer; Defraud and Obtain a Thing of Value; Commit Fraud Involving Authentication Features; Commit Aggravated Identity Theft; Commit Access Device Fraud; and Commit Wire Fraud While Falsely Registering Domains.

The three hackers, who are accused of working for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, were allegedly ‘engaged in a wide-ranging hacking campaign that used spearphishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise the accounts of current and former U.S. government officials, members of the media, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals associated with U.S. political campaigns.’

Fox News Digital has reached out to the FBI and Department of Justice.

Last week, the U.S. revealed the Iranian hackers had obtained information on the Trump campaign and tried to distribute it to people linked to the Biden campaign and media organizations since June. 

The federal government acknowledges that the Trump campaign has been a specific and repeated target of Iran since he ordered the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the former commander of the IRGC Qods Force.

Trump was briefed Tuesday about ‘real and specific threats’ from Iran to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate, according to his campaign. 

Iran’s aim to assassinate Trump is part of the Islamic Republic’s efforts to ‘destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,’ Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung said in a press release. 

‘Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference,’ Cheung said. 

This is a developing story and will be updated. 

Fox News Digital’s Bradford Betz and Morgan Phillips contributed to this report.
