Iranian hackers threaten to release stolen emails from Trump aides, ex-porn star Stormy Daniels, prompting a response from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Hackers with ties to Iran have warned to release additional emails stolen from President Donald Trump’s inner circle, including White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Roger Stone, after releasing a previous batch to the media before the US presidential election in 2024.

Few weeks ago, the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, asserted that US and Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities did not seriously harm it, prompting Trump to announce he was stopping plans to possibly reduce sanctions on Iran.

The hackers claim to have nabbed emails from accounts belonging to top Trump aides including White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, millionaire advisor Roger Stone, attorney Lindsey Halligan, and even Trump’s alleged affair partner Stormy Daniels.

Calling themselves Robert yes, really the hacker representing the group hinted at making the email bundle open for purchase, but didn’t otherwise leak any details.

In online chats on Sunday and Monday, hackers using the alias “Robert” and they had approximately 100 gigabytes of emails featuring Wiles, Stone, ex-porn star Stormy Daniels, Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan, and others.

While they did not reveal the specifics of the content, they mentioned the possibility of selling the emails. In an indictment filed last September against three Iranians in the case of the 2024 Trump cyberattack, the Justice Department claimed that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps manage the hacking campaign “Robert”.

As tensions escalate in the Middle East following the Trump administration’s air strikes on Iran, hackers allegedly backed by the Iranian government are flashing their wild card for cyber-attack of 100 gigabytes’ worth of emails scraped from the president’s 2024 election campaign.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said This is 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.”
