ShinyHunters Claims to Have Data of Thousands of FBI Employees
Hacktivist group ShinyHunters claims to have obtained data on thousands of FBI employees and applicants, citing the hack as retaliation for an FBI statement from May 2026 that advised against paying the group. The FBI confirmed it is investigating unauthorized activities affecting its job website after hackers altered the site with a seizure message. News outlet 404 Media reported receiving data from approximately 5,000 individuals, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and partner information, with some phone numbers verified as accurate. Reuters also verified parts of the leaked personnel data by cross-referencing names and post addresses with previously leaked information, though it noted uncertainty regarding whether the data originated from internal systems.
