Did the FBI say it is investigating a claimed ShinyHunters breach of FBI employee data in September 2026?

Yes. In September 2026, the hacking group ShinyHunters claimed it breached FBIJobs.gov and stole sensitive personal data on thousands of FBI employees and applicants—including names, roles, badge numbers, home addresses, phone numbers, and spouse information. The FBI said it was “actively and aggressively investigating the matter” and working with third-party providers that support FBIJobs.gov, while noting it was still determining whether systems were breached directly or via a third party. The BBC reported seeing a small portion of the shared data that appeared genuine.
