Certainly the FBI and GMail having gaps in their operational information security isn't news.

Do you think the FBI manages his personal email?

Kind of defeats the purpose of it being a personal email don't you think?

The FBI does because he is included in "the FBI"

I read the headline and first thought was seriously, that's it? Surely this is one of the least concerning things about the administration

Iranian. Not bloody likely! Try Israeli-tied propagandists. Poke the hornets nest much?

Aren't most exploits that get used, shared through black markets anyway? So Saying Xcountry-linked hackers, is just saying who ponied up the bitcoin to pay for the attack?

This is quite misleading and partisan to present this as "FBI director's personal email" when the emails far predate his current role.

If I had downloaded those emails, which I haven't because I know of no website that archives the internet, and if I had read them, which I haven't because that would be a breach of someone's privacy, then certainly I would have figured out that it contains no spicy state secrets. But why spend one hour assessing an information when you can get clicks by suggesting something bigger?

Those supposedly Iranian hackers surely know how to hack the western media to get attention.

I found it actually more informative to read on the sad history of the Dena, the ship whose victims this leak was dedicated to, so it's not been a complete waste of time.
