🔴 ShinyHunters Claims FBI Breach, Says It Stole Data on Agents and Job Applicants

The cyber extortion group known as ShinyHunters on Tuesday claimed it had breached the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and stolen data belonging to current and former employees at the agency.

"We have compromised the FBI. We hold very sensitive data on almost ALL FBI Agents and individuals who filed an application with the FBI for a job," the group said in a statement posted on their dark web site. "Whether it be a Special Agent or any other role within your agency. The following FBI services were compromised: Criminal Justice (CJ), HR, Medlink, and more."

The development was first reported by 404 Media. ShinyHunters said the FBI was targeted in response to a May 2026 public service announcement (PSA) that detailed the threat actor's targeting of Canvas, an online Learning Management System (LMS), while urging victims not to pay.
