9月30日（路透社）——此前声称对近期数千名联邦调查局探员个人敏感数据泄露事件负责的黑客组织ShinyHunters的官网于周三下线，就在该组织要求FBI撤回或修改一份关于其手段和过往记录的声明的最后期限过期一天后。

- 长期活跃的网络敲诈组织ShinyHunters曾多次针对全球大型企业发动攻击，该组织于9月22日告诉路透社及其他新闻机构，他们窃取了“几乎所有FBI探员以及向FBI提交求职申请的个人的数据”。
- 路透社对黑客提供的部分数据样本进行分析后发现，其中包含大量个人身份信息、敏感职位信息以及精神和医疗信息。
- 路透社无法确定该网站下线的原因，且未能联系到ShinyHunters置评。
- 该黑客组织表示，他们攻击FBI是因为2026年5月FBI发布的一份关于该组织的公告歪曲了他们此前的行动。他们给了FBI一周时间“更正或直接删除”该公告。
- 该公告目前仍在网上。ShinyHunters随后表示，他们无意公布窃取的数据，且已达成目标。
- 联邦调查局于9月23日表示，正在“积极且全力调查此次数据泄露事件”。该机构周三拒绝就是否采取行动迫使黑客网站下线置评。9月29日，联邦调查局网络犯罪部门助理局长布雷特·莱瑟曼在该局官网发布的一段视频中敦促黑客“在你仍有选择余地的时候”与FBI取得联系。
- 荷兰警方本周宣布，已于9月15日逮捕一名与ShinyHunters调查相关的荷兰男子。该黑客组织告诉路透社，该男子与他们“毫无关联”，并嘲笑荷兰警方“无能”。

Sept 30 (Reuters) – The website used by ShinyHunters, the group that claimed responsibility for a recent hack of thousands of FBI agents’ personal and sensitive data, went offline on Wednesday, a day after the group’s deadline for the FBI to retract or modify a statement about the group’s tactics and track record expired.

- ShinyHunters, a prolific cyber extortion group with a long record of targeting major corporations around the world, told Reuters and other news organizations on September 22 that it had stolen data “on almost ALL FBI Agents, and individuals who filed an application with the FBI for a job.”
- A Reuters analysis of a sample of the data shared by the hackers subsequently revealed that the data contained extensive personally identifiable information, sensitive job role information, and psychiatric and medical information.
- Reuters could not determine why the site was offline. ShinyHunters could not be reached for comment.
- The hackers said they targeted the FBI in response to a May 2026 FBI advisory about the group that the hackers felt misrepresented their prior actions. They gave the FBI a week to either “correct or simply REMOVE” the advisory.
- The advisory remains online. ShinyHunters later said it had no intention of publishing the data it stole and that it accomplished its goals.
- The FBI said on September 23 that it was “actively and aggressively investigating” the breach. The agency declined to comment on Wednesday on whether it had taken any actions to force the hackers’ site offline. Brett Leatherman, assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, urged the hackers in a video published on the agency’s website on September 29 to get in touch with the FBI “while the choice is still yours.”
- Dutch police announced this week that on September 15 they had arrested a Dutch man in connection with an investigation into ShinyHunters. The hacking group told Reuters the man had “no association” with them and mocked the Dutch police as “incompetent.”
