US EditionIran-Linked Hackers Threaten to Release Trump Aides' Emails
UNITED STATES, JUL 01 – The hacker group Robert claims to hold 100GB of emails from Trump aides and threatens to sell or leak them amid rising geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the U.S.
- An Iran-linked hacking group called Robert threatened on June 30, 2025, to release emails stolen from aides to President Donald Trump.
- The group appeared in late 2024 during the presidential race and asserted responsibility for obtaining about 100GB of email data linked to Trump associates such as Susie Wiles and Roger Stone.
- Robert resumed activity after a 12-day Israel-Iran air conflict this month, which ended with U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, while Tehran denied involvement and maintained a low cyber profile during the fighting.
- U.S. officials strongly denounced the cyber intrusion, with Attorney General Pam Bondi describing it as an "unconscionable cyber-attack." FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized that all individuals involved in compromising national security will face thorough investigation and legal action.
- The renewed threat highlights ongoing concerns that Iran may continue cyberattacks targeting American infrastructure and political figures without escalating military conflict.
