Hacker group ShinyHunters claims breach of FBI jobs portal, stole agent data

The hacker group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen personal information of current and former FBI agents and job applicants from the bureau's online jobs portal, including names, home addresses, phone numbers, spouses' names, and some medical records. The group describes the breach as retaliation for an FBI advisory about its harassment tactics issued after it breached the Canvas education platform, demanding the advisory be retracted within a week. While no data has been publicly leaked yet, multiple outlets have reviewed portions of the stolen information. The hackers attribute the breach to an unspecified vulnerability in Oracle's PeopleSoft software. The FBI is investigating but has not confirmed the scope or origin of the breach.
