WASHINGTON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Vice President Kamala
Harris' presidential campaign said it was notified by the FBI
last month that it was "targeted by a foreign actor influence
operation," a campaign official said on Tuesday.
"We have robust cybersecurity measures in place, and are not
aware of any security breaches of our systems resulting from
those efforts," the official said, adding that the campaign
remains in communication with authorities.
The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
The bureau said on Monday that it was investigating after
Republican rival Donald Trump's presidential campaign said that
it had been hacked.
The Trump campaign blamed Iran and pointed to a Friday
report from Microsoft ( MSFT ) researchers that indicated that
Iranian government-tied hackers tried breaking into the account
of a "high-ranking official" on a U.S. presidential campaign in
June.
The Iranian government has denied hacking the Trump
campaign.
