Security News > 2020 > December > FBI: Iran behind pro-Trump ‘enemies of the people’ doxing site
Iranian cyber actors are likely behind a campaign that encouraged deadly violence against U.S. state officials certifying the 2020 election results.
Titled "Enemies of the People," the website was created on December 6, and by the middle of the month included personal details of individuals that did not support the current U.S. President's claims of voter fraud.
Among them are governors, state secretaries, former CISA Director Christopher Krebs, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and people working for Dominion, the company providing the voting systems.
Dominion has been a target of Trump supporters after the President's lawyers made allegations that Dominion's software switched votes for Trump to Biden.
Warnings about Iranian attempts to interfere in the U.S. Presidential election this year started pouring in October, when the the FBI and CISA published multiple alerts on the topic [1, 2, 3]. One of them refers to voter intimidation through emails purporting to be from Proud Boys far-right group that threatened recipients registered as Democrats with violence unless they voted for the Republican candidate: "Vote for Trump or Else," read the subject line.
