I’m sure there will be outrage over his email server like there was ten years ago. Any minute now.
Apparently it was just Gmail:
Reuters was not able to independently authenticate the Patel emails, but the personal Gmail address that Handala claims to have broken into matches the address linked to Patel in previous data breaches preserved by the dark web intelligence firm District 4 Labs. Alphabet-owned Google, which runs Gmail, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Anyone got a link to the leaks? Would love to know what he spends his time emailing about instead of doing his job
He’s a prolific poster on elevator shoe forums
Early leaks supposedly

Nothing it’s mostly pics of his kids from ten years ago. Some hotel reservations, him buying his house. Most interesting thing is a his cv and job offer to be a lawyer. Only a couple hundred emails max. Mostly old and boring.
Trying to get popular brands to give him free swag with his personal logo and Punisher skulls on it? I’m sure a K$H themed Monster is coming soon.
That’ll happen when your IT systems are no longer guarded by the woke femboys and furries.
His password was maga12345
Fucking banchode pwnt.
Them MAGAts used to brag about the Clintons taken down because of a bad email server.
Was his secret question instantly guessable from his Facebook profile, or did the moron get phished?
lol America is being run by complete imbeciles.
Fascists destroy far more than they ever build. Anything they do build they will ultimately destroy, if the mental illness is allowed to run its course.
I have been through a bunch of very well known and established international online publications and seen extremely little of this news being reported.
Here’s a tiny article hidden away in the subsections of NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/fbi-director-kash-patel-hacked-email-iran.html
Aljazeera also has a mention: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/27/fbi-director-kash-patels-emails-photos-hacked-by-iran-linked-group
Wapo has nothing on it on their front page right now, neither does TheGuardian.

It is super fucking weird being unitedstatesian, being fully aware of how repressive the Iranian regime is, being fully aware of how fucking unhinged our own regime is, and straight up rooting for the Iranian hackers here
Tangent here. I’ve always hated that there’s no concise name for this. Using “American” is just ridiculously egotistical. Lately I’ve been saying “U.S. American” but even that sounds a bit obnoxious.
Canadian here. We don’t use “American” as USA has taken it for themselves. It’s not often a concern for most of us.
Use “American”. Most people know what it means.
Not sure how helpful this is, but where I’m from, we often use “Jenkki” - Yank, when talking about you guys :D I know it has different meaning over there, here its sort of a neutral word. At least in my mind.
Its also a brand name of the most popular chewing gum, haha
Yeah unfortunately we can’t use that for southerners or they will lose their shit.
If they complain, you should just say “you lost, get over it” I’m sure they’ll understand, I hear they are very friendly and hospitable.
I’m a leftist in Florida and still use Yankee as a pejorative for northerners who feel the need to bring their self obsessed bullshit down here and drive up housing prices to the point that natives can’t afford to live in their home state. We’re not all MAGA down here, and the frustration towards northerners isn’t exclusive to lost-causers
Well that doesn’t sound at all friendly and hospitable!
Are you Finnish, Estonian, or Magyar by any chance? Maltese?
Finn
Perkele.
Excellent point, I agree.
Unfortunately, with the good people, the early immigrants brought their repressors as well. - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27209433-white-trash - https://archive.org/details/ForAmericaToLiveEuropeMustDie/foramericatolive_read/mode/2up
Anyone know where can I actually read what excerpts they released?
When your password is cuNVallhalla1980, it isn’t that hard
Least likely person to end up in Valhalla:
Pre-covid emails only it seems
They report that excerpts were published online but don’t even describe what was published?
But where? . Gif
Haven’t taken a look yet but there’s a zip file link.
