**Executive summary:** This Dark Reading discussion covers several recent cyber incidents: ShinyHunters' claim of an FBI personnel-data breach and related arrests, a nine-month exposure of unencrypted Defense Manpower Data Center files affecting roughly 2.8 million living and 294,000 deceased records, and a DIVD breach that used two zero-days and an agentic-AI-driven attack against a Zammad instance; the piece highlights law enforcement activity, possible connections between events, and growing concern about AI-assisted vulnerability hunting and inadequate data protections.
