acking and other breaches of cyber security could wreak havoc in the lead-up to this year's presidential election.
Former president and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump recently claimed that his campaign had been hacked, following Microsoft's announcing that a group of Iranian hackers had broken into the account of a presidential campaign "high ranking official" in June.
Additionally, Politico reported on Saturday that they had been "receiving emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump's operation."
These events, while potentially unrelated and currently uncorroborated, may be portent of a general hacking problem in this coming election.
