Trump’s campaign confirms it was hacked, blames Iran for data breach

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign said Saturday that it had been hacked and blamed Iran for breaking into its data, days after Microsoft revealed the terror-backing nation has been ramping up online activity in an attempt to influence the US election.

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung made the announcement following report from Politico that said the outlet had received anonymous emails that included documents from inside Trump’s campaign operation.

The campaign cited the report from Microsoft on Friday that said a presidential campaign had been targeted with an email phishing attack in June, according to reports.
