A suspected Iranian hacking group, Handala, claims to have breached the personal Gmail account of FBI Director Kash Patel. The group published Patel's personal photos as evidence. The breach appears to be real, with a Justice Department official confirming that Patel's emails were compromised. The FBI has not commented on the breach. Handala is a pro-Palestinian hacktivist operation that federal investigators say is actually an operation from Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security. The group has been spreading anti-American propaganda and has been involved in destructive cyber-attacks. The alleged hack of Patel's account is the latest incident involving Handala, which earlier infiltrated a US medical equipment provider and launched a data-wiping attack.
