A foreign hacker allegedly accessed files tied to the FBI's investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in February 2023, after an agent at the bureau's New York Field Office inadvertently left a government server exposed to the public internet.
The breach, originally reported only as a general cyber incident, is now confirmed to have involved Epstein-linked materials, in a disclosure that raises fresh questions about who may have obtained some of the most politically sensitive law enforcement data in the United States.
