""While the FBI proudly seized our domains and immediately announced a $10 million reward for the heads of Handala hack members, we decided to respond to this ridiculous show in a way that will be remembered forever.""
"Handala claims that the breach is in response to the FBI's operation last week to seize several of the hacker group's domains."
"Experts have warned that the Iranian government will likely pursue both destructive cyberattacks against critical infrastructure and online influence operations designed to create confusion and chaos during the war."
Handala Hack Team, a pro-Iranian group, claims to have breached Patel's email and shared photos and a snippet of his resume. They also released a zip file with purported stolen documents. This breach is said to be a response to the FBI's recent seizure of their domains following a cyberattack on Stryker, a U.S. medical tech company. Experts note that Iran uses proxy groups like Handala for cyber operations, complicating attribution of attacks to the Iranian government.
