NEW: Hackers have leaked a portion of FBI director Kash Patel's emails online, confirming Reuters.
TechCrunch has verified that at least portion of the leaked emails from Patel's Gmail account were authentic by verifying cryptographic signatures contained in the emails.
w/ @lorenzofb:
FBI said it's "aware of malicious actors" targeting Patel’s email and that "the information in question is historical in nature and involves no government information."
Many files are dated 2014 to ~2019. But as noted by William Turton on X, a single email is dated 2022, sugesting more may leak.
@zackwhittaker wait, are they dribbling out old emails as a teaser?
Or, is this an account that Patel forgot the password to, so he made a new one?
