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.

Weirdly, this is the most normal he’s ever really looked, even with the external eyeballs. Never realized just how big of an impact those bugeyes have.

It’s a real shame the feds don’t hire the nerds who might’ve prevented this. The tl;dr is hiring freezes, reinstated fitness tests, and drug usage disqualifications put cops behind computers, not IT. Who saw that coming.

[–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 83 points 1 week ago

Smoking the Devil’s lettuce? GTFO. Into fucking dogs? You’re hired!

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right? They're gonna relax the standards for dog fuckers but not for weed?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 74 points 1 week ago

Weed intoxicates the brain . That's bad.

[–] cardboardboxfort@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But they do allow bestiality now.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How is this the one photo where he doesn't look like he's holding in a massive shit?

Dogs really are the best.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

To me he always looks like he got caught masturbating to horse porn by his parents. I'm amazed he managed to take a decent photo as well.

Plus DOGE got rid of basically all the competent cybersecurity professionals.

Names/addresses/ages/phone numbers/applications, shit they could have just found the login for one of the hiring groups indeed profiles, lol.

Before they leak it, they should coerce the FBI to leak the Epstein Files and then leak the FBI stuff anyway. Would be hilarious. We be top tier.

[–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 65 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That won't work though because the federal government doesn't negotiate with terrorists*.

Instead, they do their negotiating with rich pedophiles.

My favorite part is that the exploit was an Oracle issue. The Ellison family sucks.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 1 week ago

selling of parts paramount to the saudis, they overextended thier purchases.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Didn’t oracle just pay out a settlement for a data breach?

[–] 404found@lemmy.zip 88 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The government needs to provide all FBI employees with 1 free year of credit monitoring. That free year is the resolution I've seen from the corporations that were hacked. Remember when a couple credit bureaus were hack multiple times and they provided this? The FBI should also provide compensation for the hack if employees sign up in time. Usually you get like $20 for the data leak.

[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then years later they can claim the $4 check from the settled class action lawsuit

Turns out firing all the experts and replacing them with incompetent sycophants has consequences

[–] SarahValentine@pawb.social 52 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (15 children)

Meh, these are the same fucks who breached the Canvas backend and held student data for ransom. I don't care if they target a government agency I don't like - they're just another bunch of assholes out to make a profit.

[–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That was fucked up and they are wrong for that but if they keep going after feds I'm all for them.

Wish they could leak the Epstein files (without pics and vids).

Their talents were wasted on Canvas if they have this kind of capability.

Either that or, the FBI's database just has ultra piss poor security which sounds about right anymore.

[–] SarahValentine@pawb.social 9 points 1 week ago

If they were "going after" the feds, they'd release everything they got instead of bragging about what they got. Either they got nothing or they're holding it for ransom, but if it's the latter what are their demands? None of this is passing the smell test.

Release it all please.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

I honestly DGAF about the employees, I do care about the internal documents indicating what they’re collecting on innocent parties and sitting on regarding the rich and dirty ones.

Truly a service to humanity, if they assure the information is "used for good", whatever the hell that means.

Is that Sparky Patel? Poor doggo.

Who are the dog fuckers and who stole from their employers or hired prostitutes?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Apparently I'm OOTL on some weird Kash Patel shit?

This kinda sounds like the last GRDS hack maybe? Would need some proof to even say if this is new.

[–] nanashinow@programming.dev 10 points 1 week ago

this post made my day !

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago

So.... How many of them had engaged in beastiality prior to being hired? 🤔
