Three observations about #Handala (#Iran hackers) getting into #KashPatel's Gmail account (ref: https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/27/iranian-hackers-claim-breach-of-fbi-director-kash-patels-personal-email-account/):
1) It is not unusual for govt employees to forward emails from govt to personal accounts, e.g., personal emails inappropriately sent to govt accounts. We would have to know what emails were forwarded to know if there was a problem. Presumably if the forwarded emails were problematic the journalists reporting on this would have reported that?
