**Executive summary:** The Handala hacktivist group, reportedly linked to Iran's Ministry of Intelligence, announced they breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal Gmail and published personal photos and documents; the FBI confirmed the compromise but stated the data was historical and did not include government information. The report also references Handala's previous destructive intrusion against Stryker and the U.S. Department of State's $10 million reward for information on the group.
