FBI says it is investigating a breach of its fbijobs.gov jobs portal after a hacking group called ShinyHunters claimed to have obtained sensitive personal data on thousands of current and former FBI employees. Al Jazeera reports that the FBI's statement on Wednesday, Sept. 23, says the point of breach is still undetermined and that the bureau is working with third-party providers that support the portal. Al Jazeera, citing Reuters, reports that the group claims to hold a larger trove of two to three terabytes and that seen fragments include details of officials' assignments against Chinese spies, Russian intelligence and drug cartels. The scale and sensitivity of the claimed data remain unconfirmed.
