Kamala Harris' campaign said Tuesday it learned last month from the FBI that it was targeted by a "foreign influence operation," according to a report.
An official for the campaign told NBC News they have "robust cybersecurity measures in place" and weren't aware of any security breaches of their systems stemming from the operation.
"We remain in communication with appropriate law enforcement authorities," the official told the news outlet.
The report comes a day after The Washington Post reported that the FBI was investigating possible Iranian hacking attempts of a Trump associate and advisers to the Biden-Harris campaign.

The agency began investigating in June — warning Google and other companies of phishing attempts targeting the Biden campaign — believing Iran was responsible for efforts to steal data from the two presidential campaigns.
Donald Trump ally Roger Stone told the Post a "couple" of his personal email accounts were "compromised."
Trump's campaign said it was hacked after Politico received a "dossier on J.D. Vance" from an anonymous account.
Politico reporter Alex Isenstadt flagged the news on social media, saying, "Trump's campaign says it has been hacked."
"The acknowledgment came after POLITICO began receiving emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump’s operation, including a dossier on JD Vance," Isenstadt wrote Saturday.
