A hacker group known as ShinyHunters has claimed to have stolen the personal data of over 5,000 FBI agents and employees. The information reportedly includes physical addresses, job roles, medical records, and details about spouses and partners. The data, which is said to be between 2 to 3 terabytes in size, was allegedly obtained through a hacking attack on September 22, targeting the FBI's recruitment website. Multiple sources have confirmed that the data appears to be authentic. ShinyHunters accused the FBI of spreading false information about them in a security bulletin issued by the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) in May. The bulletin reportedly compared them to "The Com," a global network linked to the sexual exploitation of children. The hackers had given the FBI one week to correct or remove the report, but as the deadline approaches, they claim "nothing will happen" and that they have no intention of publishing the data, contrary to what some media outlets had expected. According to Reuters, the stolen data includes information about FBI agents working on counterintelligence operations against China and Russia. The BBC uncovered details about blood and urine tests of special agents, while 404 Media found personal data of members of the FBI's Remote Operations Unit, the agency's hacking team. Despite these revelations, ShinyHunters emphasized that their actions are not motivated by financial gain and that they have no intention of publishing or selling the data. The FBI confirmed an investigation into the breach on September 23. According to an internal memo published by The New York Times on September 28, the agency believes the perpetrator may also be stealing the personal data of all its employees. In response, the FBI has advised its staff to be cautious, report any unsolicited contact, avoid answering calls from unknown numbers, and use AI-generated voices for voicemail to prevent voice cloning. A representative of ShinyHunters reiterated to 404 Media that the data would not be sold, though the group's future actions remain unclear.
