A report by BBC News claims that hackers associated with ShinyHunters have accessed "extremely sensitive medical data" including blood and urine test results for thousands of FBI special agents. The alleged hack includes records from the FBI's jobs portal, FBIJobs.gov, which has been the main application site since 2017 for agent and support positions. While the full extent of the breach is still undetermined, the FBI confirmed it is investigating claims that a compromise occurred and stated it is working to mitigate any risks involved.

Story summary
ShinyHunters, a notorious hacking group, claimed on September 22 that they breached the FBIjobs.gov website and stole personal data from thousands of current and former FBI employees. The hackers obtained sensitive information such as names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and dates of birth for many agents and job applicants. ShinyHunters defaced the FBI's jobs portal with a mocking message that included President Trump’s signature phrase "Thank you for your attention to this matter," implying retaliation against his administration.
The FBI acknowledged unauthorized activity affecting their job application site but did not confirm the theft of data. Reuters partially verified some stolen information by cross-referencing it with credit bureau records and previous breaches, finding matches in at least nine cases. The hackers threatened further action if the FBI does not address what they see as false allegations against them.
The breach potentially impacted a significant number of individuals who applied for or held positions within the FBI since 2017 when the site became the primary application platform for agent and support roles. The full extent of data compromised remains unclear, but ShinyHunters shared what they claim is a small sample dataset involving approximately 5,000 individuals.

The FBI issued a public service announcement alert in May warning of the threat posed by ShinyHunters, which they describe as a "cyber criminal group specializing in large-scale data breaches and extortion."
ShinyHunters actors "commonly use harassment strategies, sending threatening text messages and phone calls to victims and their family members, and in some cases, swatting," according to the FBI.
