Iran-linked hackers threaten to disclose emails from Trump's circle

SUMMARY

Iran-linked hackers threatened to release more stolen emails from Donald Trump's inner circle similar to what they did ahead of the 2024 election. In chats with Reuters, the hackers, known as Robert, mentioned having about 100 gigabytes of emails from Trump associates, including Susie Wiles and Lindsey Halligan Roger Stone and Stormy Daniels. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the intrusion as "an unconscionable cyber-attack."

FBI Director Kash Patel promised a full investigation, labeling the incident as cyber propaganda meant to smear Trump. The hackers briefly paused activity after Trump's election but resumed following recent conflicts between Israel and Iran. Analysts suggest the hackers want to retaliate without escalating military tensions.
