FBI notifies Kash Patel he's target of an 'Iranian hack'
SUMMARY
Kash Patel, President-elect Trump's pick to lead the FBI, has reportedly been targeted in an "Iranian" hacking attempt. Sources say hackers may have accessed Patel's communications. Trump transition spokesman Alex Pfeiffer highlighted Patel's role in opposing the Iranian regime and his commitment to protect America if confirmed as FBI Director.
Patel is not the only Trump associate affected; several others, including attorney Todd Blanche, have been warned about Chinese hacking activities. Iran has a history of targeting Trump's administration and allegedly tried to meddle in recent campaigns.
