FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email has been hacked by an Iran-backed group, the Department of Justice has confirmed.
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.
Patel “will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims,” the group’s website said.
A Justice Department official confirmed the hack and said material posted online “appeared to be authentic,” Reuters reported Friday.
JUST IN – FBI director Kash Patel's personal email address hacked, says DOJ. This comes only a day after Iran-linked Handala hacking group claims it breached the FBI: "Soon you will realize that the FBI's security was nothing more than a joke." pic.twitter.com/XeuogL8I0Y

1/3‼️ Handala Hack, the hacktivist group behind the data leak of senior engineers at Lockheed Martin and the 200,000-user Intune wipe of Stryker, has released personal photos and a document of current FBI Director Kash Patel on their public website and public Telegram channel. pic.twitter.com/iG3PhDrYOu

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,” Newsweek reported. “A sample of the material appears to include a mix of personal and work-related correspondence dating from 2010 to 2019. The scope of the breach and how the account was accessed were not immediately clear. ”
The FBI hasn’t commented on the breach thus far.

Joe Lent’s crew?
Those “embarrassing” photos are nothing. Kash has done more embarrassing things in public in front of cameras.
Big fat nothingburger.
These corksucking, jackass hackers are the knuckledraggers who gave us 9/11.
It is fantastic news that the head of the FBI is so security conscious.
I never keep or put anything on my personal PC that connects to the internet, that I’m not willing to share with the entire world. Nothing is safe or private on the internet.
LOL !
Patel was worried about past NSA surveillance, but Iranian hackers just guess his pw and spread it all over the internet.
