华盛顿9月22日路透电——以数字敲诈闻名的“ShinyHunters”组织周二称,他们已入侵美国联邦调查局(FBI),并窃取了数量庞大的现任及前任该局雇员数据。
该局周二未回应记者多次置评请求。

ShinyHunters在其暗网网站发布的声明中,以及在与路透社的在线聊天中表示,他们袭击FBI是为了报复该局2026年5月的一则公告,该公告详细披露了ShinyHunters的作案手法,并建议受害者不要支付赎金。该组织称,他们窃取了“几乎所有联邦调查局探员,以及向FBI申请过职位的个人的数据”。

作为证据,该组织提供了据称是被篡改的FBI求职网站截图,以及他们所称的一小部分窃取到的数据样本。
路透社无法核实该截图的真实性,但该求职网站近期似乎确实出现过宕机。周二该网站发布一则消息称,其本身以及FBI“特别探员申请门户”均“目前无法访问”。
路透社通过将部分据称被盗的FBI人事信息的姓名、邮政地址细节以及社会安全号码与信用局记录,以及暗网情报公司District 4 Labs保存的此前遭泄露的数据进行比对,部分验证了这些信息的真实性。

路透社至少在9起案例中发现,相关细节似乎匹配。但该新闻机构无法确认这些数据的来源,也无法证实这些数据是否如黑客所称,是从FBI内部系统窃取的。记者试图联系样本数据中信息涉及的人员,但均未成功。
ShinyHunters是全球最臭名昭著、最爱高调炫耀的黑客组织之一。其近期的入侵行为包括据称从《侠盗猎车手》开发商电子游戏公司Rockstar Games窃取了数百万条商业记录,以及今年5月针对教育工具Canvas的入侵事件,该事件导致美国多所学校大范围停课。本月早些时候,人工智能公司Anthropic称,其发现与ShinyHunters有关联的黑客试图使用该公司的工具。
上周日,该组织告诉路透社,他们已向另一个臭名昭著的网络犯罪集团cl0p宣战,这是一起罕见的公开互撕事件。

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) – The digital extortion group known as “ShinyHunters” said on Tuesday that it had breached the Federal Bureau of Investigation and stolen data on a huge number of current and former FBI employees.
The bureau did not respond to repeated messages seeking comment on Tuesday.
The Misinformation Monitor newsletter rounds up international misinformation narratives, with a “Real or Fake?” quiz in every edition. Sign up here.
In a statement posted to its dark-web site and during an online chat with Reuters, ShinyHunters said it had targeted the FBI in response to a May 2026 agency announcement that detailed ShinyHunters’ methods and advised targets not to pay. It said it had stolen data “on almost ALL FBI Agents, and individuals who filed an application with the FBI for a job.”

As proof, the group offered what it said was a screenshot of a vandalized FBI job site and what it described as a small sample of its stolen data.
Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the screenshot, but the job site did appear to have experienced recent disruption. A message posted to the site on Tuesday said that both it and the FBI “Special Agent Applicant Portal” were “currently unavailable.”
Reuters was able to partially verify the authenticity of some of the allegedly stolen FBI personnel information by running the names, postal address details, and Social Security numbers against credit bureau records and previously breached data preserved by the dark-web intelligence firm District 4 Labs.

In at least nine cases, Reuters found that the details appeared to match. However, the news agency could not establish where the data came from, or whether it had been stolen from the FBI’s internal systems as the hackers claimed. Attempts to reach the people whose details were in the sample data were unsuccessful.
ShinyHunters is one of the world’s most notorious and attention-seeking hacking crews. Its recent break-ins include the purported theft of millions of business records from video game developer Rockstar Games, the maker of “Grand Theft Auto,” and a May intrusion centered on education tool Canvas that caused widespread disruption across US schools. Earlier this month, AI company Anthropic said it had caught ShinyHunters-linked hackers trying to use its tools.
On Sunday, the group told Reuters it had gone to war against another notorious cybercrime group, cl0p, in a rare bout of public score-settling.
