FBI Investigating Claimed Breach of Jobs Portal Affecting Employee Data

The FBI said Sept. 23, 2026 it is investigating a claimed compromise of its fbijobs.gov portal involving employee personally identifiable information. ShinyHunters claims it obtained detailed data on thousands of staff, described as 2-3 terabytes including counterintelligence assignments. The FBI says the breach point is undetermined; the portal stayed offline. Exposure of such roles risks targeting beyond identity theft.
