ShinyHunters claims breach of FBI jobs portal
Original: ShinyHunters claims FBIjobs.gov breach as FBI investigates, portal offline
The hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have breached FBIjobs.gov, the FBI's recruitment website, which has gone offline as the agency investigates the reported intrusion. If confirmed, it would be a notable embarrassment for the FBI, coming as ShinyHunters remains active in a string of recent high-profile data theft claims against major companies. The extent of any data taken is not yet clear.
Why now: A cybercriminal group claiming a breach of an FBI-run government site is highly unusual and the portal going offline fueled speculation.
