How to Protect against Iranian Targeting of Accounts Associated with National Political Organizations

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the FBI are warning of cyber threats from actors linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. These actors are actively targeting Americans, especially those involved with U.S. political organizations or Middle Eastern affairs. Using social engineering tactics, they impersonate known contacts to trick individuals into revealing their email credentials. By exploiting this access, they aim to undermine public confidence in U.S. democratic institutions.
