  1. „Kash Patel had his personal email hacked by a group of Iran-backed hackers, who published photographs of the FBI director and other documents to the internet.“

    „The group, Handala Hack Team, claimed responsibility for the security breach and said Patel „will now find ​his name among the list of successfully hacked ⁠victims.“

    „A Justice Department official confirmed to *Reuters* that Patel’s email had ​been breached and said the material published online appeared authentic.“

    “The so called ‘impenetrable’ systems of the FBI were brought to their knees in a matter of hours by our team,” the hackers wrote. “All personal and confidential information of Kash Patel, including emails, documents, conversations, and even classified files, is now available for public download.”

    „The group claimed the attack had been in response to the FBI “proudly” seizing its domains and announcing a $10 million reward for information on its members, which it described as a “ridiculous show.”

    “This is the security the U.S. government boasts about?” the hackers added.

    „Handala, which calls itself ​a group of pro-Palestinian vigilante hackers, is considered by ​Western researchers to be one of several personas used by Iranian ‌government ⁠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. 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.“

    Holy shit don’t tell me Iran is gonna release the full unredacted Epstein files.

    I guess clicking that „meet available singles near you“ popup was a bad idea

    They didn’t bother to hack Hegseth because they didn’t have enough manpower to parse through the endless beer delivery email from DoorDash to find anything of value.

    Good lord, I have no desire to see his D pics, and you know this guy is the type to send X photos unprompted.

    Well, they don’t care about security anymore really. I mean, they use Signal Chat…

  7. The crazy thing is, between this and all the signal stuff, this administration has had one of the worst cyber security standards and have seen the most compromising of their accounts over any other administration.

  8. It’s always the higher ups that have the weakest passwords and never change them.

    When informed of the cybersecurity breach, Patel looked surprised.

    Anyone got a link? I wanna know how he had classified documents on his personal email years before he was in government

  11. He definitely hit the “click here for free blow” link like he’s Tyrone Biggums

  12. I bet there’s an email of him bad mouthing Trump which could ultimately lead to his firing

  13. Tommyblahblah on

    Even I could have guessed that his password was:

    „Femalebodyinspector#1!“

    Don’t worry folks. Everything is fine. There’s no way there’s work correspondence in his personal email. No politicians do that so we should be safe.

  15. But….HIS EMAILS!!!

    If it was his personal email account, then nothing detrimental to the US should be in there. Right? RIGHT?

  16. Likely hugely misleading. The hackers released only Kash’s emails. That doesn’t mean his was the only inbox compromised.

    This is a good time to remember that unlike Obama and other presidents who try to choose actually smart and qualified people for government, Trump chooses dumb and unqualified people who are personally loyal to him, so that no one ever shows him up

  18. Actual__Wizard on

    Boy I sure am glad Trump picked the most incompetent people possible before he started WW3? Uh.

  19. Same group that crippled Stryker Medical products a few weeks ago. I don’t think they have fully recovered from that. Why Stryker… enquiring minds want to know.

  20. Spiderbanana on

    Please, oh please, tell me there is at least one classified document (and hopefully something that doesn’t endanger anyone) on his PERSONAL email box.

  21. Is he using his personal email to conduct government business? Cause that’s a crime

  22. As Trump said (just change Russia to Iran). 

    “I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”

    This is what happens when morons are in charge of your national security.

    Where can I access the leaks so I can start going through it with AI?

    These maga clowns keep repeating the same mistakes. They should all be placed in a faraday cage 24/7.
