Foreign Hackers and Leaks: A Growing Threat to the US Election

A series of recent developments indicate an increase in foreign interference in the US election. Russia, China, and Iran have stepped up their efforts to manipulate the election process, with Russia being the top threat. The Kremlin has been actively spreading disinformation and propaganda through various means, including fake videos and social media manipulation. Iran has also been involved in hacking and leaking operations targeting political opponents and media outlets. China has been taking a more neutral stance, but its hacking operations and support for anti-democratic groups suggest a potential role in influencing the outcome of the election.
