Kash Patel, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has reportedly had his personal email compromised.

The attack has been linked to a hacker group believed to have ties to Iran.

Reports say the hackers accessed personal emails and shared some files and images online. 

Officials confirmed the breach but noted that the information involved was old and not related to government work. 

The incident is seen as part of rising cyber tensions connected to ongoing geopolitical conflicts. 

Experts warn that such cyberattacks may increase as global political tensions continue to grow.
