FBI Hacking: A Secret Hackers Unit of the Agency Appears in Leaked Data

Employees associated with the FBI's Remote Operations Unit (ROU) appear in leaked data from a breach of the FBIJobs.gov recruitment portal. The FBI confirmed investigating the intrusion but did not specify the extent of the data or whether the breach originated from their systems or a third-party provider. The leaked files include information on personnel involved in cases related to China, Russia, cyber operations, surveillance, and human intelligence, with contact details and personal data. The cybercriminal group ShinyHunters claims to have exploited a vulnerability in Oracle PeopleSoft to access between two and three terabytes of data on current and former employees and job applicants.
