The hackers behind the massive FBI breach told 404 Media on Monday they do not intend to publish the data.
The breach, in which the hackers stole personal information on “all FBI employees and applicants” including physical addresses, job roles, names of spouses, and medical records, represents a significant national security and counterintelligence threat. Criminals in the same ecosystem as the hacking group, called ShinyHunters, have previously used
hacked phone data
to track and harass the FBI agents investigating them. When
404 Media first broke news
of the breach, the group sent the personal data of an agent and their spouse who they said was investigating the group.
