Iran-Linked Hackers Threaten New Email Leaks Ahead of 2024 Election
Iran-linked hackers, under the pseudonym Robert, claim to have stolen 100GB of emails from Trump allies and are considering leaking or selling them ahead of the 2024 U.S. election. Authorities are investigating, while Tehran denies cyberespionage involvement. The hacking group reemerged post-israel-Iran conflict, stirring concerns about further retaliation.
Iran-linked hackers have threatened a new wave of email leaks targeting associates of U.S. President Donald Trump, amid a high-stakes 2024 election cycle. This warning follows previously distributed communications obtained from high-profile figures such as White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan.
Operating under the moniker 'Robert,' the hackers reportedly possess around 100 gigabytes of sensitive emails, potentially ready to sell or divulge further. The cyber group surfaced months ago, initially leaking information that was verified by Reuters, sparking concerns over digital security breaches and international relations.
While the U.S. FBI, represented by Director Kash Patel, vows to pursue full investigation and legal action, Iran maintains its stance against cyberespionage allegations. Despite the geopolitical tension, U.S. cyber officials continue to monitor threats, emphasizing caution among infrastructure operators over potential Iranian cyber retaliation.
