Donald Trump’s team, which achieved a historic victory in the US presidential elections, is in danger from Iranian hackers. According to American media reports, Iranian hackers had also targeted Kash Patel a few days ago. Indian-born Patel is the person whom Trump has nominated for the post of FBI Director.
Newly elected US President Donald Trump has recently selected Indian-origin Kush Patel as FBI Director. But before he took charge, a big information has come to light, CNN has told in its report that according to sources, Kash Patel was targeted by Iranian hackers. According to American media reports, several sources said that the FBI informed Kash Patel and Donald Trump’s team about the cyber attack, although Trump’s transition team did not directly confirm the incident. This incident has come to light amid foreign hacking attempts to target people close to Trump.
Iranian hackers targeted Kash Patel!
According to sources, hackers have accessed some of Kash Patel’s communications. Alex Pfeffer, a spokesman for Trump’s transition team, said without confirming the hacking, “Kash Patel was a key part of the Trump administration’s policies against the Iranian regime and, as FBI director, he worked to protect the United States from adversaries. “
Trump’s team on target of Iran-China!
Iran has been targeting members of Trump’s first administration for several years and recently shared information stolen from the Trump presidential campaign with individuals associated with President Joe Biden’s campaign. In June, Iranian hackers accessed the email accounts of Trump aide Roger Stone and used them in an attempt to hack the emails of a senior Trump campaign official, according to investigators. However, the Iranian government has denied allegations of interference in the presidential election.
Not only this, according to sources, last month the FBI had informed Todd Blanche, Trump’s chief counsel and nominee for Deputy Attorney General, that Chinese hackers had tapped his cellphone. However, the Chinese government has denied any involvement in the entire matter.
Who is Indian Kash Patel?
Indian-American Kush Patel is one of Donald Trump’s closest aides. Patel, a staunch critic of the ‘Deep State’, has consistently opposed government agencies like the FBI, as he believes that agencies like the FBI work against the President’s agenda. Patel has advocated significant changes to the FBI, including eliminating its intelligence gathering role and firing employees who do not agree with Trump’s policies. One of Patel’s most controversial proposals is to move the FBI’s headquarters from Washington, DC, to reduce political influence on its leadership and prevent the agency from being used for political maneuvering.
