Hackers Believed to Be Linked to Iranian Military Threaten to Release Emails Stolen from Trump's Aides
Gizmodo has learned that hackers associated with the Iranian military have threatened to release internal emails sent by top associates of President Donald Trump, including former porn star Stormy Daniels and high-ranking officials within his administration.
According to a recent report by Reuters, these hackers obtained sensitive information from various sources, including the Trump campaign's email servers. The group claims their primary motivation for stealing this information is financial gain.
However, given the highly sensitive nature of the emails involved, it's unclear whether they truly care about profit over principle.
The Trump administration has issued a statement downplaying the threat, claiming it was merely "digital propaganda" aimed at damaging President Trump's reputation and discrediting his aides. Cybersecurity experts disagree, stating that the tactics employed by these hackers are too sophisticated to be dismissed as mere smokescreen.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
Hackers claiming to be associated with the Iranian military threaten to release 100 gigabytes of stolen data, including internal emails sent by Trump's top associates. The hackers, known as "Robert," obtained sensitive information from sources such as former porn star Stormy Daniels and high-ranking officials in Trump's administration. The hack is seen as a significant development with potential implications for U.S. politics and global relations. The Trump administration downplays the threat, but cybersecurity experts say the tactics employed by the hackers are too sophisticated to be mere "digital propaganda."
Gizmodo has been at the forefront of reporting on the latest cyber threats and attacks, and one recent development has left many in the security community breathless. According to a recent report by Reuters, hackers believed to be associated with the Iranian military have threatened to release another 100 gigabytes of stolen data, including internal emails sent by some of Trump's top associates.
The group in question, which goes by the name “Robert,” recently told Reuters that they had obtained sensitive information from various sources, including former porn star Stormy Daniels and high-ranking officials within Trump's administration. This claim comes on the heels of a previous hack-and-leak operation carried out by the same group last summer, when they managed to breach the Trump campaign's email servers.
At the time, it was speculated that Iran had attempted to influence the course of the U.S. presidential election through this cyber attack. The Iranian government has consistently denied any involvement in such activities, but recent developments suggest otherwise.
The hackers claimed that their primary motivation for stealing and leaking these emails is financial gain. However, with so much sensitive information at stake, it's difficult to believe that they truly care about profit over principle.
In the face of this latest threat, the Trump administration has issued a statement claiming that the hack was nothing more than "digital propaganda" aimed at damaging President Trump's reputation and discrediting his aides. Cybersecurity experts have disputed this claim, stating that the tactics employed by the hackers are far too sophisticated to be merely a smokescreen.
The group in question is known for using highly complex malware attacks on officials' phones that can record their calls and monitor their mobile activities. They have also been linked to previous high-profile hacks on government officials not directly associated with Trump's campaign, including a former CIA deputy director and the former U.S. ambassador to Israel.
In September of 2024, the outgoing Biden Justice Department charged three Iranian operatives with having hacked and stolen materials from the Trump campaign. The investigation revealed that these hackers were part of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It remains to be seen how this latest threat will play out, but one thing is certain - if true, it would have significant implications for both U.S. politics and global relations.
