ShinyHunters claims it hacked the FBI
Original: ShinyHunters claims FBI hack: 'This is NOT financially motivated'
The hacking group ShinyHunters claims it has breached the FBI, saying the intrusion is 'NOT financially motivated', a departure from its usual extortion-driven attacks. The claim, reported by The Register, is drawing attention from security watchers debating whether the group is genuinely motivated by ideology or notoriety, and whether any stolen FBI data could actually surface.
Why now: A financially motivated cybercrime group claiming an FBI breach for non-financial reasons is unusual and raises questions about its motives and the security of a top US law enforcement agency.
