FBI rushes to investigate if ShinyHunters hack of thousands of employees is real
ShinyHunters claims breach of FBI employee data via Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day; FBI investigating and warning staff.
ShinyHunters told FBI Director Kash Patel it would change an advisory only if demands were met within one week, claiming access to sensitive FBI employee data via a weaponized zero-day in Oracle PeopleSoft. The FBI has not confirmed the breach and says the point of compromise is undetermined; the FBI jobs site remains offline and personnel were emailed to protect themselves. The group denies financial motive and says it will keep using the PeopleSoft zero-day, with experts expecting a data leak if the deadline passes.
