Microsoft’s cyber threat assessment unit said on Aug. 9 that a high-ranking official on a U.S. presidential campaign had been hacked by an Iran-backed group, with the Trump campaign later revealing that it had been the target of a cyber attack and linked the breach to “foreign sources hostile to the United States.”

The report from the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) indicates that an Iranian group called Mint Sandstorm that is connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sent a spear phishing email in June to a high-ranking official on a presidential campaign from the compromised email account belonging to a former senior campaign adviser.

The Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD) develops policy recommendations through research projects, including those on election integrity and analyzing various Russian state-backed communications. The Alliance for Securing Democracy is led by Laura Thornton and consists of an advisory council of more than a dozen individuals including John Podesta,former White House chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.

In early 2023,Hamilton 68, a digital dashboard the group promoted in 2017 as an effort to “help ordinary people, journalists, and other analysts identify Russian messaging themes and detect active disinformation” was exposed by left-leaning journalist Matt Taibbi as a “scam.”As part of his work on the Twitter Files, Taibbi provided internal emails from the social media firm during 2017 and early 2018 in which Twitter analysts found that Hamilton 68 did not primarily track Russian influence, but instead “generally right-leaning users” 1 2

“I’m increasingly of the opinion that this dashboard is actively damaging and promotes polarization and distrust through its shoddy methodology,” said one Twitter executive of Hamilton 68. “Real people need to know they’ve been unilaterally labeled Russian stooges without evidence or recourse. It’s a major problem.” 3

Leadership

Alliance for Securing Democracy is led by director Laura Thornton, a senior fellow who has prior experience at the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), a think tank where she managed various teams across Europe.
