An Iran-linked cyberattack group that hacked President Trump’s 2024 campaign is threatening to release another trove of emails it has [allegedly] stolen from his associates, including White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Roger Stone.
The big picture: Reuters first reported the threat on Monday that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on X called a “calculated smear campaign” — which came the same day as the Trump administration released a report warning that “Iranian Cyber Actors” may target U.S. firms and “operators of critical infrastructure.”
Hackers who gave themselves the pseudonym “Robert” told Reuters in online conversations on Sunday and Monday they had around 100 gigabytes of emails involving Wiles, Stone, Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan and adult film actress Stormy Daniels, and others.
They spoke of potentially selling the emails, but did not disclose details of the material.

In a statement, CISA described the material as “purportedly stolen” and “unverified.”
