ShinyHunters claims it hacked the FBI

Original: ShinyHunters claims FBI hack: 'This is NOT financially motivated'

The hacking group ShinyHunters claims it breached the FBI and says the attack was not financially motivated, according to a report by The Register. The claim, if confirmed, would represent a striking breach of a top US law enforcement agency by a group better known for corporate data theft and extortion. Details of the alleged intrusion, including what data may have been taken, remain unclear, and the FBI has not publicly responded to the claim.

Why now: A cybercriminal group claiming a breach of the FBI is an extraordinary and verifiable-in-the-making security story.
