Iranian hackers threaten to release treasure trove of White House emails
A group of Iranian-linked hackers threatened to leak emails they claim to have stolen from key White House officials and advisers on Monday, the latest iteration in the cybersecurity battle. Months after distributing material stolen from President Donald Trump's campaign, the group of hackers informed Reuters that they had roughly 100 gigabytes of emails from accounts belonging to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan, Trump adviser Roger Stone, and adult film star Stormy Daniels. The group, which goes by the name 'Robert,' did not disclose details of the emails to Reuters but said they were considering selling the materials. The hacking disclosure arrived shortly after the Trump administration issued a warning to people about the potential for cyberattacks against critical infrastructure by Iranian state-sponsored or affiliated groups. The White House and FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement that it 'takes all threats against the president, his staff, and our cybersecurity with the utmost seriousness' and that it was a 'top priority' to safeguard the administration's ability to execute the president's mission. 'Anyone associated with any kind of breach of national security will be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,' Patel said in the statement. In recent years, the U.S. has experienced similar cyberattacks from foreign-linked hacking groups. Last year, Chinese-affiliated hackers tried to target data from Trump and Vice President JD Vance's phones while the 'Robert' group released a trove of emails obtained from the Trump campaign to reporters, including some from Stone. 'This so-called 'cyber attack' is nothing more than digital propaganda, and the targets are no coincidence,' Marci McCarthy, the director of public affairs for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said in a statement. 'This is a calculated smear campaign meant to damage President Trump and discredit honorable public servants who serve our country with distinction. These criminals will be found and they will be brought to justice. Let this be a warning to others, there will be no refuge, tolerance, or leniency for these actions,' McCarthy added. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. have mounted recently after Trump ordered missile strikes on nuclear facilities in the country, raising the threat of cyber attacks. Officials have also warned that groups supportive or affiliated with Tehran may seek to disrupt critical infrastructure systems, defense contractors, or other American companies with ties to Israel.

2 Chinese nationals arrested for spying on US Navy
Two Chinese nationals have been arrested and charged as foreign government agents after allegedly spying on U.S. Navy bases and service members and recruiting military members to accomplish tasks for the Ministry of State Security (MSS), which is China's foreign intelligence agency. According to Fox News, the U.S. Justice Department confirmed that Yuance Chen, a Chinese national living in Oregon, and Liren Lai, a Chinese national who came to the U.S. on a tourist visa in April, were arrested on Friday in coordination with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. The outlet noted that both Chinese nationals face charges of conducting secret espionage activity for the MMS, helping recruit potential MSS assets, and orchestrating a 'dead drop' cash payment for the MMS. A criminal complaint obtained by Fox News claims that Lai recruited Chen in 2021 to work for the MSS, which gathers intelligence on civilians and foreign countries. According to the complaint, Lai and Chen facilitated a 'dead drop' payment for the MSS in January of 2022. According to Fox News, both Chinese nationals also worked to identify individuals associated with the Navy who could be potential assets of the MSS. The outlet noted that in 2022 and 2023, Lai and Chen visited a U.S. Navy facility in Washington and a Navy recruitment center in California. The Justice Department claimed that Chen captured photos of a bulletin board with information about Navy recruits and allegedly transmitted the photos to an MSS intelligence officer in China. The department also claimed that Chen was instructed by the MSS regarding how to inform potential recruits about payments for helping the agency and preferred Navy assignments for recruits.

Additionally, the Justice Department claimed that Chen met with MSS intelligence officers in China in April of 2024 and March of 2025 regarding payment for various intelligence tasks. According to Fox News, both Chinese nationals have been charged by the Justice Department for operating as foreign government agents in the United States without informing the U.S. attorney general. Chen and Lai could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel told Fox News that the arrests of Chen and Lai 'reflect the FBI's unwavering commitment to protecting our national security and safeguarding the integrity of our military.' 'The individuals charged were acting on behalf of a hostile foreign intelligence service — part of the Chinese Communist Party's broader effort to infiltrate and undermine our institutions,' Patel added. 'Thanks to outstanding coordination with our partners, including NCIS, we disrupted those efforts and sent a clear message: the United States will not tolerate espionage on American soil. Our counterintelligence operations remain focused, vigilant, and relentless.'
