The contents of Hunter Biden's iCloud account have allegedly been hacked by users of the 4chan community, where screenshots purporting to be from his phone and computer were being posted on their main political forum late Saturday night.

Administrators on the imageboard site moved quickly in the hours after the content was posted to pull down threads that included materials from the alleged leak, leaving many on the site, which is known for featuring some of the most salacious subject matter on the internet, furious.

The content from the leak could not immediately be verified by the Washington Examiner, and a White House representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It was also not immediately clear if the contents of the 4chan leak included any materials from the younger Biden's infamous laptop, which the Washington Examiner verified the authenticity of earlier this year. The infamous laptop, which emerged into the public view in the final weeks of the 2020 election, contains details about the first son's financial dealings and personal matters.

Hunter Biden's financial affairs, including millions of dollars worth of dealings and money transfers tied to countries such as Ukraine, China, and Russia, have been under federal scrutiny since 2018. Hunter Biden, who revealed the existence of an inquiry into his tax affairs just after the 2020 election, previously claimed to be "100% certain" he will be cleared of wrongdoing.

The Washington Examiner was able to confirm the legitimacy of the laptop after obtaining a copy of the first son's hard drive and having it examined by a former Secret Service agent who has testified as a cyberforensics expert in over 100 classified, criminal, and civil matters at the state, federal, and international levels.

Konstantinos "Gus" Dimitrelos conducted a full forensic examination to determine the drive's authenticity and whether there were any signs of tampering. Using a technique he developed called "digital sandwiching," Dimitrelos cross-referenced thousands of emails, documents, business records, text messages, Apple Notes, photos, geolocation data, travel records, and other information on the drive to conclude that Biden is the only person capable of producing the data.

"My analysis revealed there is a 100% certainty that Robert Hunter Biden was the only person responsible for the activity on this hard drive and all of its stored data," Dimitrelos told the Washington Examiner in May. "Hunter Biden's MacBook Pro was not hacked, and the data contained on the hard drive is authentic. Based on the data I examined, there was no manipulation of any photographs, emails, documents, or other user activities."

Records on the drive reviewed by Dimitrelos show Hunter Biden's iCloud account was syncing his personal data with his MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad when the computer was last used in March 2019. Other records show Hunter Biden's Apple ID account, which is used to sign in to all Apple services, has been associated with 46 different devices since 2011, including over 20 iPhones, eight Mac computers, nine iPads, and three Apple TVs, Dimitrelos said.

It is not clear if this latest leak, which purports to be of the younger Biden's iCloud, is from the same account connected to the hard drive that was verified by the Washington Examiner.

Comment: More from DailyVeracity (Warning: Language):

Researchers on 4Chan have begun examining an offline backup of Hunter Biden's phone. They found the password and are going through all the files.

There is reportedly approximately 450GB of data still remaining hidden on the President's son's iPhone backup log.

The individual who initially released the data claimed to have been threatened by unnamed individuals close to the administration.

"I was told Hunter had sexual relationships with a lot of people in the so-called 'elite' and families are ashamed," said the anonymous individual, adding that 'the elite' want to "prevent the humiliation because he f-cked half the kids, sisters and wives in the small 'elite' circles."

The data is alleged to have come from an iPhone backup drive that contained everything from deleted phone calls and text messages, to web-search history including pornography habits.

The data released on 4Chan alleges Hunter Biden searched for porn videos of himself on popular pornography websites, with search terms including "Hunter Biden Fucking a Hooker."

The alleged documents also show text messages claiming there are "more weapons in your son's room than in an armory."

The 4Chan info dump is currently ongoing and can be followed here. We will continue to provide any updates if important information is to be revealed.

In other words, nothing much revealed so far that we didn't already know. There' more info coming out and it looks like this has the makings of another scandal. But the question is, how trustworthy is the information?
