ShinyHunters trades financial extortion for a reckless war of ego with the FBI
ShinyHunters claims it stole personal and assignment data on FBI agents to force retraction of an agency advisory.
ShinyHunters says it stole data on almost every FBI agent and agency job applicant, and it demanded on its leak site that the FBI amend or remove a May public service announcement. Researchers who reviewed samples told CyberScoop the material includes personal contacts, family details, duty assignments, and some personnel specialties. The FBI jobs site was defaced and remained offline; the bureau said it is investigating but has not confirmed the scope or attribution. The group, described as a fluid criminal brand, previously targeted organizations including Salesforce, Snowflake, Instructure, and McKesson.
