A high profile hacking group claims it has breached multiple FBI-related services and stolen data “on all FBI employees and applicants.” A representative of the group, called ShinyHunters, told 404 Media the data includes FBI agents’ names, home addresses, phone number, and information on their spouse.
The data breach could be massively significant and may have all sorts of national security and counterintelligence implications. Criminals from the same ecosystem as ShinyHunters have previously used hacked data like phone records to track, intimidate, and harass the FBI agents investigating them. The highly sensitive data could also be a boon to foreign intelligence agencies who want to better understand how one of the most important law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the U.S. operates. And if the data fell into the hands of more criminals, FBI agents and their spouses could face serious threats to their safety.
“We hacked the FBI. We hold data on all FBI employees and applicants,” the representative of the group told 404 Media.
The representative provided 404 Media with a sample appearing to contain the personal data of 5,000 FBI employees. That data included an alleged address, phone number, date of birth, and in some cases details on their spouse.

Edit - pointing out that concern over data security is a moot point after a gaggle of non-security cleared Musk datascrapers at the start of Trump’s term already stole untold data, and have no protocol to secure it like the government does is factual and poignant. “Be excellent to each other” is a flagrant abuse of censorship.
in fairness, you called someone “retarded”. some people on here get triggered around the word “retarded”, even if they were not the target of the word, they somehow felt you meant they were “retarded”.
remember. don’t use “retarded” use “mentally deficient”.
just want to make sure everyone is aware here. even if you were talking about flame “retardant” material, it’s still not acceptable. the new term is “flammably deficient”.
Technically the word ‘idiot’ was utilised for the highest grade of mental deficiency. Do you feel that word should be banned too?
Not trolling, I’m genuinely curious.
any retard with half a brain can see that an idiot is far less deficient than a retard.
flammably speaking.
So, “Hacked” in this case means asked Grok where they could buy a “Female Body Inspector” tshirt and Grok coughed up the personal details of everything FBI?
