The Iran‑linked Handala Hack Team claims it breached FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email and posted photos and personal documents — many more than a decade old — but the FBI says the materials are historical, involve no government information, and that it has taken steps to mitigate potential risks. U.S. authorities have seized related web domains, are offering up to $10 million through Rewards for Justice for information identifying Handala, and the FBI urged anyone affected by a cyber breach to contact their local field office.
