FBI Director Kash Patel Personal Email Hacked by Iran-Linked Group
FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email was compromised by a group identifying as Handala Hack Team, who claim to be Iran-backed. The hackers published old photographs of Patel, including selfies and images from a trip to Cuba, along with what appears to be his resumé. A Justice Department official confirmed the breach and the authenticity of the published material, stating the attack was in retaliation for the FBI’s seizure of domains linked to the group. Handala Hack Team is believed to be a persona used by Iranian government cyberintelligence units.
