The release included years-old pictures of Mr Patel, along with a work CV, and other personal records – many of them seemingly more than a decade old. In a message posted on Friday, the hacker group Handala wrote: "Kash Patel, the current head of the FBI, who once saw his name displayed with pride on the agency's headquarters, will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims."
