Cyber operatives connected to the Iranian government have accessed the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel, releasing a tranche of his private photographs and correspondence online.
The breach, initially reported by Reuters on Friday, marks a persistent escalation in digital espionage directed at senior United States officials. It follows repeated warnings from American intelligence agencies, which cautioned that Tehran-linked threat actors would likely launch retaliatory operations following coordinated US and Israeli military strikes in Iran last month.
