US EditionIran-Linked Hackers Threaten to Release Trump Aides' Emails
- An Iran-linked hacking group known as Robert threatened on June 30, 2025, to release stolen emails from President Trump's longtime aides in Washington.
- This threat follows the US Justice Department's September 2024 indictment alleging that Iran's Revolutionary Guards operated the Robert hacking group, which emerged during the late 2024 presidential campaign.
- The hackers claimed to have breached accounts of Trump allies Susie Wiles, Lindsey Halligan, Roger Stone, and Stormy Daniels, possessing roughly 100 gigabytes of emails and having previously leaked some content before the 2024 election.
- US officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi who called it "an unconscionable cyber-attack," warned that Iranian cyber threats aim to distract and divide, while FBI Director Kash Patel vowed full investigation and prosecution.
- The renewed hacking attempts occurred after a 12-day Israel-Iran conflict, with experts saying Tehran seeks retaliation without escalating military action, while US agencies caution that American businesses remain at risk.
