FBI Director Kash Patel’s Personal Email Account Apparently Breached By Iranian Hackers

Call me a sicko, but I’m almost always happy when a top-level government official’s communications get hacked. That’s because — in almost every case — either the offic…

Techdirt

La FBI delle serie TV sembra fantascienza rispetto alla realtà, che è molto peggio.
Un gruppo filo‑iraniano ha violato l’account Gmail personale del direttore dell’FBI, pubblicando foto, documenti e centinaia di email.
L’FBI conferma e minimizza.
Il capo della più potente agenzia investigativa del mondo colpito e affondato da cracker iraniani... via Gmail.
Mi viene da ridere, ma c’è davvero poco da ridere.

Agi: Hacker filo-iraniani violano la email del capo dell'Fbi, taglia da 10 milioni

AGI - Il dipartimento di Stato americano ha messo una taglia da 10 milioni di dollari sul gruppo di hacker Handala, legato all'Iran, che è riuscito a violare l'account e-mail personale del direttore dell'Fbi, Kash Patel.In una nota, la polizia federale ha fatto sapere di essere a conoscenza dell'hackeraggio e assicurato di aver "preso tutte le misure necessarie per mitigare i potenziali rischi.
I file pubblicati
I messaggi rubati, ha assicurato l'Fbi, "sono materiale storico e non coinvolgono informazioni governative". Handala HackTeam, che ha rivendicato l'attacco, ha pubblicato immagini online del direttore dell'Fbi e del suo curriculum. Il Dipartimento di Giustizia, dopo l'inizio della guerra israelo-americana contro l'Iran il 28 febbraio, aveva messo in guardia contro potenziali attacchi informatici da parte di soggetti iraniani.
Il SITE Intelligence Group, un'organizzazione che monitora i gruppi jihadisti, ha pubblicato la rivendicazione di Handala. "Oggi, ancora una volta, il mondo ha assistito al crollo delle cosiddette leggende della sicurezza americana", si legge. "I cosiddetti sistemi 'impenetrabili' dell'FBI sono stati messi in ginocchio in poche ore dal nostro team. Tutte le informazioni personali e riservate di Kash Patel, incluse e-mail, conversazioni, documenti e persino file classificati, sono ora disponibili per il download pubblico", ha aggiunto.
Handala ha affermato che l'attacco informatico è "dedicato ai martiri del cacciatorpediniere Dena", una nave della marina iraniana affondata da un sottomarino statunitense all'inizio di questo mese al largo della costa meridionale dello Sri Lanka.

Pro-Iranian hackers breach FBI director’s email, $10 million bounty.

The U.S. State Department has placed a $10 million bounty on the Handala hacking group, linked to Iran, which managed to breach the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel. In a statement, the FBI said it was aware of the hack and assured that it had “taken all necessary measures to mitigate potential risks.”

The released files
Stolen messages, the FBI assured, "are historical material and do not involve government information." Handala HackTeam, which claimed the attack, posted images online of the FBI Director and his resume. The Department of Justice, after the start of the Israeli-American war against Iran on February 28th, had warned against potential cyberattacks by Iranian actors.

The SITE Intelligence Group, an organization that monitors jihadist groups, published Handala’s claim. “Today, once again, the world has witnessed the collapse of so-called American security legends,” it reads. “The so-called ‘unbreakable’ systems of the FBI were brought to their knees in just a few hours by our team. All personal and confidential information of Kash Patel, including emails, conversations, documents and even classified files, are now available for public download,” it added.

Handala stated that the cyberattack was “dedicated to the martyrs of the destroyer Dena,” an Iranian navy ship sunk by a U.S. submarine earlier this month off the coast of southern Sri Lanka.

How to obtain and read the leaked Kash Patel emails on Linux (maybe will work on other OS?)

First download the files from @ddosecrets. They offer both direct DL and torrent options:

https://ddosecrets.org/article/kash-patel-emails

Once you have them unzip the file. These emails are in EML format, and it's possible to import them into Thunderbird so they look just like real emails.

WARNING: If you have TBird hooked up to a live email account you will be able to answer these emails just as if they'd been sent to you. You probably don't want to do this.

I'm running Mint 20.3. Unfortunately the version of TBird in the repository is too old to allow the necessary plugin to work, so I had to install the latest version directly. I used the FlatPak, but any way you can get the latest version is fine. You can download it from:

https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/

After you have the latest TBird installed go to Addons in the hamburger menu. Search for and install ImportExportTools-NG.

If you already have an actual email account hooked up in TBird skip the next step. If you don't, as I didn't, the only way I could create a local folder was to add a real email account. I could then create a local folder and delete the real account from TBird. It's not necessary to delete it, but having an outgoing server configured when reading leaked emails worries me.

So create a local folder and then right-click on it. You should see an ImportExportTools menu item. Click on that and then Import EML messages and then (most efficient) Import All EML Messages from a Directory and all Subdirectories.

Choose the directory created by unzipping and you're good to go!
