EXCERPT:

The hacking group known as ShinyHunters is claiming that had obtained sensitive personnel information associated with Federal Bureau of Investigation employees and job applicants.

The group said the data was taken from systems linked to the FBI’s jobs portal and related services. According to a report from ABC News, which reviewed sample records, portions of the material appeared consistent with public records and other available information.

The FBI said it was investigating the claims and had not publicly confirmed the full scope of any intrusion or the origin of all of the material.

“We have compromised the FBI,” the group wrote in a message addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel and Cyber Division official Brett Leatherman. “We hold very sensitive data on almost ALL FBI Agents and individuals who filed an application with the FBI for a job.”

The group further stated that the operation was a response to a May 2026 FBI public advisory describing ShinyHunters’ methods and advising targets not to pay. It demanded that the FBI “correct or simply REMOVE” the advisory within a week.

In addition, the group said the effort was “not financially motivated and claimed to have taken two to three terabytes of data. They later stated that the material covered tens of thousands of current and former personnel and applicants.
