"The group, called Handala Hack Team, posted personal photos and other documents including a purported resume to its website, claiming the files were taken directly from Patel's inbox."
"A Justice Department official confirmed the hack and said material posted online appeared to be authentic, Reuters reported Friday."
"Handala describes itself as a pro-Palestinian entity and is believed to be part of the Iranian government's cyberintelligence units."
"The Gmail address the hackers say they accessed matches an address previously linked to Patel in older data breaches tracked by the dark web intelligence firm District 4 Labs."
The Handala Hack Team, linked to Iran, hacked FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email, releasing personal photos and documents online. The Department of Justice confirmed the authenticity of the leaked materials. The hackers claimed to have breached the FBI's security, stating it was inadequate. The leaked content includes correspondence from 2010 to 2019. The exact method of the breach remains unclear, and the FBI has not yet commented on the incident. This event adds Patel to a growing list of high-profile hacking victims.
