FBI reportedly declares ‘cyber security incident’ after hackers steal agents’ personal data

The FBI has notified staff of a cybersecurity incident after attackers allegedly exploited an Oracle PeopleSoft vulnerability in the FBIJobs.gov portal to exfiltrate applicant and personnel data — including names, addresses, job titles, Social Security numbers, and some medical records — with the hacker group ShinyHunters claiming the breach while demanding a correction to an FBI report rather than ransom. The incident raises serious national security, privacy, and operational risks and may trigger mandatory congressional notification if deemed a "major incident."
