FBI Hackers Say They Won’t Publish Massive Trove of FBI Employee Data
ShinyHunters told 404 Media they won't publish stolen data on all FBI employees and applicants, though the theft itself still poses counterintelligence risks.
ShinyHunters, the group behind the massive FBI breach, told 404 Media they do not intend to publish the stolen trove covering all FBI employees and applicants. The data includes names, physical addresses, job roles, spouses' names, and medical records. Criminals in the same ecosystem previously used hacked phone data to track and harass FBI agents investigating them, and the group sent one investigator's personal data to journalists. Even without publication, the theft alone presents significant national security and counterintelligence risks by revealing granular insight into FBI operations.

Joseph Cox reports:
The hackers behind the massive FBI breach told 404 Media on Monday they do not intend to publish the data.
The breach, in which the hackers stole personal information on “all FBI employees and applicants” including physical addresses, job roles, names of spouses, and medical records, represents a significant national security and counterintelligence threat. Criminals in the same ecosystem as the hacking group, called ShinyHunters, have previously used hacked phone data to track and harass the FBI agents investigating them. When 404 Media first broke news of the breach, the group sent the personal data of an agent and their spouse who they said was investigating the group.
Although any potential damage will be less if ShinyHunters doesn’t publish the data publicly, the theft happening at all still presents much of those same national security risks, with the data providing granular insight into how the FBI operates.
