Iran-linked hackers have breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal emails

4 hours ago

Hackers linked to the Iranian government breached FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email, posting stolen photos and documents.
The stolen materials include personal, business, and travel correspondence from 2011 to 2022.
The breach was described as mundane, involving personal items rather than sensitive FBI data.
This incident is part of a pattern of Iranian-backed cyberattacks targeting US officials, including Patel in 2024.
The same hacking group disrupted a US medical device maker’s operations earlier this month, citing retaliation for a missile strike in Iran.
The Justice Department has accused the hackers of working for Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security.
