The site included addresses and other personal details of the officials, as well as photographs of them with crosshairs.
The Post obtained a statement from the FBI sent to officials included on the site saying it had “highly credible information indicating Iranian advanced persistent threat actors were almost certainly responsible for the creation” of the site “containing death threats aimed at U.S. election officials.”
