‘Malicious actors’: Iran-linked group claims responsibility for Kash Patel email hack

FBI Director Kash Patel

A group of hackers linked to Iran claims it hacked FBI Director Kash Patel’s email, multiple outlets reported Friday.

The Handala Hack Team, which is a hacktivist group U.S. officials believe to be tied to Iranian intelligence, postedphotos of Patel next to cars and smoking cigars in Cuba as well as a screenshot of an old resume on its website Friday. The group claimed on its website that the cyberattack was in retaliation for the FBI’s seizure of several domains.
