ShinyHunters Claims Breach Exposing FBI Medical Records
Original: (malwarebytes.com) ShinyHunters Exposes Highly Sensitive FBI Medical Records in Extortion-Driven Cyberattack In brief -
The extortion group ShinyHunters claims it breached the FBI and obtained highly sensitive medical records of personnel, reportedly leaked as part of an attempted extortion scheme. Malwarebytes reports on the alleged theft of medical and other private data. The FBI has not been confirmed as commenting, and the scale and authenticity of the claimed leak remain unverified, but the targeting of a US law enforcement agency is drawing close attention in the cybersecurity community.
Why now: The targeting of the FBI itself by a notorious extortion gang is a striking escalation, and unverified sensitive leaks spread quickly
