FBI hunts hackers who stole employees' sensitive data

Original: FBI hunting the hackers who stole its employees’ sensitive data

The FBI is pursuing the hackers behind a breach that exposed sensitive personal data of its own employees. The incident is notable because the targeted agency is itself the leading US authority on investigating cybercrime, raising questions about how its systems were compromised and what information the attackers obtained. Details about the scale of the theft and those responsible have not been made public.
