FBI Director's Personal Email Breached by Iranian Hackers; Government Systems Untouched

Iranian-linked Handala Hack Team breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email account, releasing photos and archived documents from his inbox. The FBI confirmed no government systems were compromised. The exposed files are over a decade old. The attack underscores why senior officials' personal accounts—which lack the protections afforded to government infrastructure—remain attractive targets for state-sponsored cyber operations.
