FBI investigating after hackers claim they stole sensitive data about agents

The FBI said it was investigating after a hacker group said they broke into a database and stole sensitive information regarding the bureau’s agents. The group allegedly responsible said the attack was not financially motivated. 

The supplied verified evidence contains no factual detail beyond what is already included in the existing item. It provides no further information that could be added without repeating published material. The evidence therefore does not support an additional reported paragraph about the investigation, the alleged intrusion, the claimed data, or the group’s stated motive, because each of those subjects is covered only by the same text already provided. It does not identify the group, specify the database, describe the information said to have been taken, or provide details about the FBI’s inquiry.

It also includes no date, location, target, method, affected individuals, corroboration, a response from the alleged hackers, or an indication of whether the claim has been independently verified. Adding any such detail would require information not present in the verified source evidence and would risk introducing unsupported reporting into the item or creating an account that exceeds the available record in this request.
