Two Russian actors that Microsoft tracks as Storm-1516 and Storm-1679, have been under MTAC's close watch.
微软追踪的两个俄罗斯行为者，被称为Storm-1516和Storm-1679，受到了MTAC的密切关注。
Storm-1516, identified as a Kremlin-aligned troll farm, produced and disseminated two inauthentic videos, each generating millions of views.
Storm-1516被认定为与克里姆林宫对齐的巨魔农场，制作并传播了两个伪造的视频，每个视频都产生了数百万的观看量。

Why It Matters: The recent cyber attacks on the Harris-Walz campaign come in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin's public support for Vice President Harris in the 2024 presidential election, although he probably meant that in a sarcastic manner.
哈里斯-沃尔兹竞选活动最近遭受的网络攻击发生在俄罗斯总统普京公开支持副总统哈里斯参加2024年总统选举之后，尽管他可能是以讽刺的方式说的。
U.S. intelligence officials have noted that Russia is attempting to influence voters toward Donald Trump and away from Harris.
美国情报官员指出，俄罗斯正试图影响选民偏向唐纳德·特朗普，而不是哈里斯。
"Russia, Iran, and China are trying by some measure to exacerbate divisions in U.S. society for their own benefit, and see election periods as moments of vulnerability," stated the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in September.
“俄罗斯、伊朗和中国正在以某种方式加剧美国社会的分裂，以谋取自己的利益，并将选举期视为脆弱时刻。”国家情报总监办公室在九月份表示。
Russia has also been reportedly using American social media influencers to sway the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
据报道，俄罗斯还利用美国社交媒体意见领袖来影响2024年美国总统选举。
In August, Trump's presidential campaign confirmed a security breach in its internal communications, suspecting the attack was carried out by "foreign sources hostile to the U.S."
今年8月，特朗普的总统竞选活动证实其内部通信遭到了安全漏洞，怀疑这次攻击是由“敌对于美国的外国势力”发起的。
