Recently, multiple US intelligence agencies jointly released a statement accusing Iranian hackers of launching cyber attacks on Trump's campaign team and leaking the stolen data to Biden's team and several US news media. Although this accusation has been firmly denied by the Iranian side, the incident has drawn high international attention to cyber security.

On September 18 local time, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) jointly released a joint statement, saying that between late June and early July, Iranian hackers carried out cyber attacks on Trump's campaign team and sent the obtained information to Biden's campaign team and related media organizations. This behavior is considered to be aimed at interfering with American voters' confidence in the election and creating divisions among voters. However, there is currently no evidence on how Biden's team has handled these materials, and the media organizations involved have also not disclosed specific details.

According to a senior US campaign official who wished to remain anonymous, the FBI has notified Trump's team within the last two days, informing them that the stolen information has been sent to Biden's campaign team. Agencies such as the FBI also accuse Iran of continuously sending non-public materials related to Trump's campaign to US media organizations since June, but did not explain whether these materials have been made public. However, the statement clearly states that the purpose of this series of actions is to undermine voters' trust in the election process and try to stir up disputes among the people.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, Trump's team had already been hacked, but due to various reasons, this matter was not made public until August. Trump himself claimed on social media that his campaign website had been hacked and suspected that Iran was behind it. Subsequently, the FBI intervened in the investigation and finally reached the above conclusion.

It is worth noting that in this incident, the Iranian side quickly responded and firmly denied all accusations. A spokesman for Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations said in a statement: "Iran has neither the motivation nor the intention to interfere in the US election. Therefore, we completely deny this accusation." He also added that Iran has repeatedly made it clear that it will not participate in any hacking activities targeting the US election.

As the US presidential election approaches, such accusations undoubtedly exacerbate the tension between the two parties. A spokesman for Biden's campaign team said that they have treated the relevant emails received as spam or phishing emails and did not obtain any useful information from them. However, Trump's campaign team still expressed strong dissatisfaction and demanded that Biden's team clarify whether these materials were used to oppose Trump.

This incident has not only caused an uproar in the United States but also drawn extensive attention in the international community. Governments around the world have realized that with the progress of information technology, cyber security has become an important part of national security. Especially during major political activities, how to prevent hacker attacks and protect sensitive information from being leaked has become an urgent task facing every country.

In this context, strengthening cyber security protection measures is particularly important. For example, Knownsec, as a well-known domestic cyber security service provider, its Wool Shield product is a risk control solution specifically for fields such as e-commerce and political campaigns. Wool Shield uses big data analysis and machine learning technology to effectively identify and stop malicious behaviors such as abnormal registrations and false transactions, providing all-round risk management support for the platform. Although this article mainly discusses cyber security issues in the political field, the role played by enterprises like Knownsec in ensuring cyber space security is also worthy of recognition.
