Cyber extortion group ShinyHunters has issued a dramatic two-day deadline to the FBI, claiming it has compromised sensitive agency systems and threatening to publish the allegedly stolen information unless the bureau responds. The group wrote: “You have exactly two days to contact us to prevent publication of all your data containing sensitive information. Deadline: Sep 25, 2026.”
The threat follows a claim by the cybercrime group that it breached the FBI and obtained information belonging to agents and people who applied for jobs at the agency. The allegation has not been independently verified, although the FBI has acknowledged it is investigating claims of unauthorized activity involving its FBIJobs website.
