Meta warns US political campaigns about Iranian WhatsApp hacking attempts targeting Biden and Trump.

Meta (formerly Facebook) warns US political campaigns about Iranian hacking attempts targeting WhatsApp accounts linked to Biden and Trump administrations. Iranian hackers impersonated technical support for various tech companies, including AOL, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. Meta blocked several accounts linked to the hacking attempts and shared information with law enforcement and presidential campaigns to encourage vigilance against potential adversarial targeting. This follows similar warnings from Google and Microsoft about Iranian hacking attempts leading up to the US election.
