Apparently, Hunter Biden's phone got its data leaked. I am posting the link for the leak given by that anon from the random news thread.

News coverage is a bit on the light side, but I found a few articles.
"Senior Editor of Human Events, Jack Posobiec – who recently paid tribute to Dr Zelenko following his death – revealed that “4chan has already created torrents for the Hunter Biden iPhone and iCloud backups and are now seeding them." He continued: “That means even if 4chan gets shut down the copies will still be out there.” A report from dailyveracity.com has suggested that the person responsible for the leak has been threatened by the Biden administration."

It would appear that the phone leak also contains the iCloud information that was on the phone at the time.

"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 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.

"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 into 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."

I felt I needed to include that massive chunk of text from the article to explain that the leak claims to be from the iPhone, which would be connected through the cloud he had synced to his Mac Book and other devices. The authenticity is not being said outright, so caution is advised before believing whatever is found in it. If it is real, then we might have a bit of what was on the laptop, assuming it was synced as well. Judging by his carelessness that got him in the public spotlight to begin with, I would wager it is synced.

TL;DR: Interesting if true. Just be careful because if you download his stuff. It might have illegal material. The safer option is to wait and see what comes of it.
