The hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have breached FBIjobs.gov, the FBI's recruitment website, which has gone offline as the agency investigates the reported intrusion. If confirmed, it would be a notable embarrassment for the FBI, coming as ShinyHunters remains active in a string of recent high-profile data theft claims against major companies. The extent of any data taken is not yet clear.

The trend lowers the barrier to entry for online crime and raises new questions about how AI providers secure their platforms against misuse.
