Part 2/16:
This hacking operation follows a pattern of aggressive Iranian cyber activity, particularly after recent tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program and regional diplomacy. The group, tied to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has previously targeted the Trump campaign and other U.S. political entities, aiming to disrupt or influence American politics and security. Recently, they have been threatening to leak the stolen internal communications, including sensitive emails of high-profile individuals like White House Chief of Staff Susie Wilds, Trump confidant Roger Stone, and lawyer Lindsey Halagan, among others.
