An Iran-linked hacking group has threatened to release a batch of emails it said it has stolen from President Donald Trump’s longtime aides, Reuters reported on June 30, 2025.

Overview

  • Hackers using the alias 'Robert' claim to hold roughly 100GB of emails from the accounts of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan, adviser Roger Stone and Stormy Daniels.
  • The group resumed its operation after June’s Israel-Iran air war, hinting at plans to sell the stolen data without revealing further details.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel warned that anyone involved in national security breaches will face full investigation and prosecution.
  • CISA characterized the cyberattack as digital propaganda designed to damage President Trump and discredit honorable public servants.
  • A September 2024 DOJ indictment accused three Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps operatives of directing the original Robert hack-and-leak campaign.
