Hackers release dozens of US law firm’s emails citing Trump, but there’s no ‘dirty laundry’


The hackers claimed the emails they released Saturday contain ‘the most harmless information’ about Trump – apparently trying to imply they are holding back more compelling material. But considering that what they published contained nothing remotely interesting, it seems likely that the cybercriminals are vastly exaggerating the value of the data they’ve stolen. — AFP

LOS ANGELES: The ransomware hackers who stole gigabytes of data from a prominent New York entertainment law firm posted a batch of emails Saturday on the dark web, which they previously hyped as containing incriminating information on US President Donald Trump.

But there's nothing damning in the collection of 169 emails, which the hackers illegally obtained from Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks' systems.
