Per NBC News:

Three Iranian nationals have been indicted for hacking into the campaign of former President Donald Trump, stealing emails and documents, and then sharing them with the news media, according to U.S. officials and a federal indictment filed in Washington on Friday.

The three Iranians, identified as members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, hired “malicious cyber actors” to hack into the campaign of an unidentified presidential candidate in May and stole documents from it.

U.S. officials have privately said that Trump’s campaign was the victim of the attack.

The indictment said that the personal email accounts of a former deputy director of the CIA, a former Defense Department official and an individual who appears to be longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone were also hacked.
