Iran-linked hackers have issued a fresh threat against the United States, vowing to leak additional emails stolen from Donald Trump’s aides, Reuters reported. The group had previously distributed a batch of the hacked messages to media in the lead-up to 2024 presidential election.Issuing a stern warning against such act, Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said that the “so-called cyber ‘attack'” was nothing more than “digital propaganda” against Trump. “Let this be a warning to others, there will be no refuge, tolerance, or leniency for these actions,” it said in statement posted on X.“A hostile foreign adversary is threatening to illegally exploit purportedly stolen and unverified material in an effort to distract, discredit, and divide. 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. These criminals will be found and they will be brought to justice,” the statement read.
What did the hackers say?
Speaking to Reuters virtually, the hackers, using the alias Robert, claimed they had obtained around 100 gigabytes of emails from the accounts of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan, Trump adviser Roger Stone, and adult film star-turned-Trump critic Stormy Daniels.Robert hinted at the potential of selling the material but offered no specifics about their intentions. The hackers also refrained from revealing what the emails contained.In the final stretch of the 2024 presidential race, hackers Robert surfaced, claiming to have compromised the email accounts of Trump allies and leaking messages to the media. The material included details on Trump’s financial dealings with RFK Jr’s lawyers, internal campaign discussions, and talks about settling with Stormy Daniels. While some leaks were verified and reported by Reuters, including the email that seemed to outline a financial deal between Trump and RFK Jr’s attorneys, they had little impact on the election outcome, which Trump won. The US justice department later accused Iran’s Revolutionary Guards of running the operation, an allegation the hackers did not address.
