Pro-Iran hackers have threatened to release emails supposedly stolen from people connected to Donald Trump, according to a report, in a move federal authorities called a “calculated smear campaign.”

The US warned of continued Iranian cyberattacks after American strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities and the threats they could pose to services, economic systems and companies.
