Hackers claiming ties to Iran say they possess 100GB of emails from President Donald Trump’s inner circle and may soon leak or sell the trove, after previously distributing a batch to the media before the 2024 U.S. election.
In online conversations with Reuters on Sunday and Monday, the hackers—who use the pseudonym “Robert”—claimed to possess about 100 gigabytes of emails from the accounts of “White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan, Trump adviser Roger Stone and porn star-turned-Trump antagonist Stormy Daniels.”
Robert mentioned the potential of selling the material but did not provide further details about their plans or the content of the emails.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi described the breach as “an unconscionable cyber-attack.”
The White House and FBI responded with a statement from FBI Director Kash Patel, who said:
“Anyone associated with any kind of breach of national security will be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) posted on X that “This so-called cyber ‘attack’ is nothing more than digital propaganda, and the targets are no coincidence. This is a calculated smear campaign meant to damage President Trump and discredit honorable public servants who serve our country with distinction”
