ā€œThe (Trump) campaign blamed ā€˜foreign sources hostile to the United States,ā€™ citing a Microsoft report on Friday that Iranian hackers ā€œsent a spear phishing email in June to a high-ranking official on a presidential campaign.ā€

LOL

ā€œAttackers then disguise themselves as someone their victim trusts, usually a friend or colleague, and attempt to acquire sensitive information via email or instant messaging tools.ā€

They trusted an email.

Someone trusted an email or text. They sent them something (ā€œhelp, Iā€™m locked out of my computer, whatā€™s the username and password?ā€)ā€”basically something IT ALWAYS tells people not to answer.

What you tell your parents not to answer.

But they answered.

And thatā€™s how they hacked their campaign.

By doing something you tell your parents to never do.

Thatā€™s how good the people around Don are at keeping secrets.

I bet Donaldā€™s password is 123.

Addendum:

Spox: ā€œOn Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ā€˜high ranking officialā€™ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trumpā€™s selection of a vice presidential nominee.ā€

Because the Trump Team is SO BAD they canā€™t even do security right.

And Republicans think the head of their campaign should be President?

Harris is so tight lipped, Trump doesnā€™t even know her last name!
