FBI warns ShinyHunters members to come forward after alleged leader’s arrest

The FBI publicly warned remaining members of the ShinyHunters hacking group after Dutch authorities arrested an alleged leader; ShinyHunters claim to have stolen troves of highly sensitive FBI personnel records (a sample of ~5,000 entries was shared) including employees in intelligence, surveillance, and specialized operations roles. The group has a history of extortion across 140+ organizations with at least $70M collected, and law enforcement warns the data could still be sold or exploited despite the group's statements.
