Original: ShinyHunters hackers say they won't leak sensitive FBI data

The hacking group ShinyHunters says it will not publish sensitive FBI data it is reported to have obtained. The statement, covered by CBC, has drawn attention because of the group's history of high-profile data breaches and extortion attempts. It remains unclear what data was taken or why the group chose not to release it.

Why now: The group's history of leaking stolen data makes its pledge not to release FBI material notable to security watchers.
