Iran-linked hackers have breached the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel, publishing private photographs and documents online, according to U.S. officials and the group behind the intrusion.

The hackers, identifying themselves as the Handala Hack Team, said they accessed Patel’s personal Gmail account and released a cache of material on their website, including images and excerpts from emails. 

A Justice Department official confirmed the breach and said the exposed content appears to be authentic.
