FBI Jobs Breach Exposes Hacking Unit Details, FBI Confirms Investigation
The FBI is investigating a breach of its jobs website after the hacking group ShinyHunters claimed to have stolen sensitive data on nearly all agents and applicants. The group, which previously targeted Rockstar Games and Canvas, alleges it exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle PeopleSoft to access AWS GovCloud servers, exfiltrating two to three terabytes of data. The FBI jobs portal was defaced and taken offline. ShinyHunters demanded the removal of a May 2026 FBI advisory that labeled them a cyber-criminal group, rather than demanding ransom. The FBI confirmed it is investigating the unauthorized activity but declined to verify the extent of the data theft.
