Hackers with links to Iran are threatening to disclose emails stolen from the US President’s inner circle.
The hackers, who go by the pseudonym Robert, told Reuters in an online chat that they have 100 gigabytes of stolen emails from Susie Wiles, the White House’s chief of staff, Lindsey Halligan, Trump’s lawyer, Roger Stone, Trump’s advisor and Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the centre of the Trump camp’s hush-money scandal.
The group, Robert, said they could sell the material but didn’t provide Reuters with any details on their plans, nor describe what was in the emails.
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) wrote on X that Robert’s plans for a cyberattack were “nothing but digital propaganda, a calculated smear campaign aimed at harming President Trump and defaming honourable public servants”.
The threat comes a few weeks after the US bombed the Fordow uranium processing plant in Iran as part of ongoing tensions between the Middle Eastern country and Israel over nuclear weapons programmes.
On June 30, CISA wrote in a statement that Iranian cyber actors might target “vulnerable” US networks and sites of interest, noting that defence companies with ties to Israel might be at increased risk.
So far, there have been some attempts on American banks, defence contractors and the air force by Iranian-backed groups.
Previous attack to gain the Trump campaign’s emails
Robert’s threat, seen by Reuters, comes a year after an Iran-backed group allegedly leaked similar emails from the Trump administration in what the government said was an attempt to interfere in the 2024 election.

I’m sure the media will treat the revelations found in the emails in a thoughtful and prudent manner. sarcasm
Pffft! Slacker hacker. I’ve got a thousand terrabytes laying around. 😂👍
Maybe we should put a bounty on hackers ... like dead or alive rewards.
Without chain of custody, its just fiction. Is the FBI and CIA and NSA investigating the supposed ‘hack’?
It will be played up, but I’m betting that it’s largely a pile of nonsense, when taken in context.
If there was anything earth-shattering in there it would already be released.
Aren’t there law against this kind of thing?
Not newsworthy, even if true.
Still promoting that used-up skank?
Pathetic ....
How do we know the “emails” are real?
a nancy piglousy wrap up smear idea most likely.
Made up BS. Roiders
An Iranian hacker named Robert? Yeah, okay? And after law fare and Mar-a-lago being raided by the FBI, I'm sure President Trump keeps a multitude of his personal emails regarding Stormy Daniels stored for hackers to get ahold of, instead of being in the hands of his attorneys representing him. Sounds more like bull$hit to me.
Who has Michael Steele been working for lately?
After the emails come out the lefties will?????? . . . proclaim their hatred of DJT? . . . . he’s a witch!
Estimates show from 1 to 2.2 million Iranians in the US, but
the old 2020 US Census had 568,615 state their ethnicity as Iranian..
The sleeper cells such as the one Iran ordered to kill President Trump do not register on the US census.
They’re around us all, though. Somewhere.
Trump will likely preempt these jerks and just publish them himself.
It’s about all the leftscum have left…
“They’re around us all, though. Somewhere”
Yup. Keep your heads on a swivel aka maintain situational awareness my FRiends.
