Anonymous7 days ago

Iran-linked hacking group Handala published over 300 emails and personal photos from FBI Director Kash Patel's personal Gmail account on March 27, 2026, claiming retaliation for the Justice Department's seizure of its websites. The breach — which exposed emails dating from 2010 to 2022, including at least one message copied to Patel's official DOJ account — arrives amid a broader escalation of Iranian cyber operations following U.S.-Israeli military strikes on Iran and significant cuts to FBI counterintelligence teams and CISA staffing.
