Group “Robert” threatens to sell off explosive data from Trump aides and allies
A shadowy hacker group calling itself “Robert”—allegedly linked to Iran—has claimed it holds 100 gigabytes of explosive emails stolen from top aides and associates of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The cyber bandits teased potential data sales, but stayed vague on what bombshells lie inside. They’ve already leaked snippets during the 2024 campaign, and now claim their cache includes messages from high-profile figures like Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, attorney Lindsey Halligan, Roger Stone, and even Stormy Daniels, Trump’s longtime nemesis.
In a weekend chat with Reuters, “Robert” hinted at files involving Trump’s financial ties to RFK Jr.’s legal team, internal GOP campaign chatter, and confidential settlement talks with Daniels. While some leaks have been verified, they caused little damage to Trump’s victorious 2024 run.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi called the breach “unconscionable,” while FBI chief Kash Patel vowed a full-blown crackdown on any national security violations. The White House and FBI remain tight-lipped as Iran’s UN reps deny involvement—again.
The group’s revival comes just weeks after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, following a fierce 12-day flare-up with Israel. Though the hackers had claimed “retirement” in May, they’re now back, pushing Reuters to “broadcast this matter” and hyping a data dump for sale.
Experts like Frederick Kagan suggest the operation fits into Iran’s asymmetric warfare toolbox—a silent strike designed to sting without starting a war.
With U.S. cyber agencies warning of fresh Iranian threats to American infrastructure, one thing is clear: the digital battlefield is heating up—and the inboxes of Trumpworld may be ground zero.
