FBI Confirms $10 Million Reward After Iran Hacks Kash Patel’s Gmail

The FBI confirmed that Kash Patel’s personal Gmail account was compromised and that email data was accessed.

The FBI offered a $10 million reward for information identifying the Iran-linked Handala Hack Team.

Researchers and security firms linked Handala to prior attacks, including a Stryker incident that exfiltrated 50 TB.

The DOJ seized Handala domains on March 19 as part of disruption efforts.

Experts warned that high-value individuals should use stronger protections like hardware security keys.
