ShinyHunters Claims FBI Breach, Says It Stole Data on Agents and Job Applicants

The cyber extortion group ShinyHunters claims to have breached the FBI, asserting they stole sensitive data from current agents, former employees, and job applicants. The group announced the compromise via a statement on their dark web site. In response, the FBI confirmed on Tuesday that it is investigating a potential breach specifically targeting its online jobs portal. This follows a year of ShinyHunters extorting various companies and seizing a rival gang's leak site recently.
