"The hackers published a series of personal photographs of Patel sniffing and smoking cigars, riding in an antique convertible and making a face while taking a picture of himself in the mirror with a large bottle of rum."
"Handala, which presents itself as a group of pro-Palestinian vigilante hackers, is considered by western researchers to be one of several personas used by Iranian government cyberintelligence units."
"The FBI confirmed Patel's emails had been targeted. In a statement, FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson said: We have taken all necessary steps to mitigate potential risks associated with this activity, and that the data involved was historical in nature and involves no government information."
The Handala Hack Team, linked to Iranian cyberintelligence, hacked into FBI director Kash Patel's personal email, releasing photos and over 300 emails online. The FBI confirmed the breach, stating the data was historical and did not involve government information. Handala, known for pro-Palestinian hacking, previously claimed to have hacked Stryker, a medical device company. The personal Gmail address associated with Patel matches previous breaches. The hackers' website was inaccessible, and Google did not comment on the incident.
