与伊朗政府有关联的黑客入侵了联邦调查局（FBI）局长卡什·帕特尔的个人电子邮件，并发布了从其账户中获取的资料——包括照片和文件——一名知情人士向美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）证实了此次入侵事件。
黑客公布了一系列帕特尔在担任FBI局长之前的照片，声称这些照片是从他的个人电子邮件账户中盗取的。一名了解该事件的消息人士证实了这些图片的真实性。
根据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）在一名独立网络安全研究员的协助下对文件进行的初步审查，被盗电子邮件的时间似乎是2011年至2022年期间，其中似乎包含帕特尔与各类联系人进行的个人、业务和旅行相关通信。

研究人员罗恩·法贝拉（Ron Fabela）表示，这个被黑客组织称为“坚不可摧”的FBI系统的入侵，实际上是一件更为普通的事情——入侵了诸如家庭照片和帕特尔之前寻找公寓的细节等内容。
“这不是对FBI的妥协——这就像是有人的个人‘垃圾抽屉’被入侵了，”他说道。
路透社上周五首次报道了帕特尔电子邮件被入侵的事件。
美国情报官员多次警告称，德黑兰方面的黑客可能会对上个月开始的美国和以色列对伊朗的轰炸进行报复。这也并非伊朗支持的黑客首次获取帕特尔的私人信息。
2024年底，就在帕特尔即将被任命领导FBI的几周前，官员们告知他，他已成为伊朗黑客攻击的目标，并且他的一些个人通信已被访问。
2024年的这次黑客攻击是外国黑客（来自中国和伊朗）试图获取即将上任的特朗普政府官员账户的更广泛行动的一部分，其中包括现任司法部副部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）、前弗吉尼亚州东区临时美国检察官林赛·哈利根（Lindsey Halligan）以及小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）。
在此次最新入侵事件中声称对帕特尔电子邮件入侵负责的伊朗关联黑客组织，还在本月早些时候对一家美国大型医疗设备制造商的业务运营发动了网络攻击，导致其运营中断。
黑客当时表示，他们是在报复对伊朗一所小学的导弹袭击，伊朗官方媒体称该袭击造成至少168名儿童死亡。五角大楼表示正在调查这一事件。
美国司法部指控这些黑客受伊朗情报和安全部（Ministry of Intelligence and Security）的指使。司法部在回应对这家医疗设备公司的黑客攻击时，查封了伊朗关联黑客组织用于破坏其运营的网站。但伊朗网络操作人员继续制造受害者并传播宣传内容。
Iran-linked hackers have breached FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal emails

Hackers connected to the Iranian government accessed FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email and posted materials — including photos and documents — taken from his account, a person familiar with the breach confirmed to CNN.
The hackers have published a series of photos of Patel from before he became FBI director that they claim were stolen from his personal email account. A source familiar with the incident confirmed the images’ authenticity.
The stolen emails appear to date from around 2011 to 2022 and appear to include personal, business and travel correspondence that Patel had with various contacts, according to a preliminary CNN review of the files with the help of an independent cybersecurity researcher.

What the hacking group is calling a breach of “impenetrable” FBI systems is in reality something much more mundane — a breach of things like family photos and details on Patel’s previous search for an apartment, said the researcher, Ron Fabela.
“This isn’t an FBI compromise — it’s someone’s personal junk drawer,” he said.
Reuters first reported the breach of Patel’s email on Friday.
US intelligence officials have repeatedly warned about the possibility of Tehran-linked hackers retaliating for the US and Israeli bombing of Iran that began last month. It is also not the first time Iranian-backed hackers have accessed Patel’s private information.
In late 2024, Patel, just weeks away from being appointed to lead the FBI, was informed by officials that he had been targeted as part of an Iranian hack and some of his personal communications had been accessed.
The 2024 hack was part of a broader effort by foreign hackers — from China and Iran — to access accounts for incoming Trump officials including now Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, former interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan and Donald Trump Jr.
The Iran-linked hacking group that claimed responsibility for accessing Patel’s emails in this most recent breach was also behind a cyberattack earlier this month that disrupted business operations at a major US medical device maker.
The hackers said then that they were retaliating for a missile strike on an elementary school in Iran, which Iranian state media has claimed killed at least 168 children. The Pentagon has said it is investigating that incident.
The Justice Department has accused the hackers of working for Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security. The department responded to the hack of the medical device company by seizing websites used by the Iran-linked hackers to disrupt their operations. But the Iranian cyber operatives have continued to claim victims and spread propaganda.
