Iran-linked hackers have publicly claimed the breach of FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal inbox, publishing photographs of the director and other documents to the internet.
On their website, the hacker group Handala Hack Team said Patel “will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims.” A Justice Department official confirmed that Patel’s email had been breached and said the material published online appeared authentic.
So the director of the FBI is regularly subject to data breaches? Am I reading that correctly?
I think it’s less that he is personally being hacked, but rather he’s using common public services which do.
It’s Gmail. If Gmail is the weak link then he didn’t get hacked, the entire world got hacked.
