Politico reports that it was sent communications from inside the Trump campaign, including Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) 271-page vetting file, allegedly by an Iranian hacker.

The outlet said that it has been receiving anonymous emails containing internal communications from the Trump campaign. The campaign acknowledged the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, accusing “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” for leaking them.

But still you think with how much control they want over other people, you’d think that no one would even have a chance at social engineering. Some gestapo-style blacklist intranet work email setup with a bunch of interns poring over every single little thing that gets stuck in the filter

Is it really that farfetched to think that the people working for the Trump campaign are dumb enough to fall for a phishing email?
