ShinyHunters, a cyber extortion group that hacked FBI agents' personal data, took their website offline after their deadline for the FBI to retract a statement expired on September 29. The group had demanded the FBI correct an advisory about their tactics, but the advisory remained online. The FBI said it was actively investigating the breach and urged the hackers to contact them.
The FBI warned employees that hackers from ShinyHunters may have stolen their personal data from the bureau's jobs site breach. ShinyHunters denied the claim and demanded a retraction within a week, later stating it won't publish the data. The FBI advised staff to assume their information is compromised and watch for suspicious contact.
