FBI confirms hack of Director Patel’s personal email inbox

The Handala hackers associated with Iran have breached the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel and published photos and documents.

The FBI has confirmed the compromise, saying that the stolen data was not recent and did not include any government data.

​On Friday, the Handala threat actor announced on one of their websites that Patel has been added to the list of their victims, alleging that they compromised “the so-called ‘impenetrable’ systems of the FBI” in just a few hours.
