A Justice ⁠Department ⁠official confirmed to ⁠Reuters ‌that Patel’s emails ​were ‌compromised but did ‌not ​go ​into ​detail. The FBI ​did not ⁠immediately respond to a ‌request ⁠for comment. The hackers did not immediately respond to messages

On their website, the ​hacker group ​Handala Hack Team ⁠said Patel “will now find his name among the ‌list of successfully hacked victims.”

Indianexpress.com was not able to immediately authenticate the emails published by Hanadala, but a sample of the ⁠material uploaded ⁠by the hackers, and reviewed by Reuters appears ⁠to ‌show a mix ​of personal and work ‌correspondence dating between 2010 and 2019.

This is a developing story. More details are awaited.
