Alleged FBI Hack Could Endanger Agents as Addresses Are Claimed Leaked
The hacker group ShinyHunters claims to have breached the FBI’s vacancy website, possessing data on nearly all agents and applicants, including home addresses and family names. This potential leak poses serious safety risks for agents combating criminals. The group issued an ultimatum to remove a critical report within a week or release the data, citing the FBI’s advice against paying ransoms as motivation. The FBI is investigating the claim after the site displayed takeover messages, while tensions rise between ShinyHunters and rival group cl0p over previous hacks.
