Microsoft has issued a fresh warning saying that Russia, Iran and China have continued targeting the US elections with hacking and AI tactics. The warning, which comes two weeks ahead of Election Day 2024 (on November 5), says that the cybercriminals are attacking both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump’s campaigns.
According to a report by Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC), while Russian actors are using AI in their content, Iran is using hacking techniques and China is focussing on several down-ballot candidates.
