Lyrics

[Verse 1]
ShinyHunters knocking on the Bureau's door
Say the files are loaded but they won't pour
Agents' names and numbers, home address too
Stolen from the inside, nothing they could do
FBI calling it a cyber incident
Quiet little label for a loud predicament
BBC says the agents fearful, agents vexed
Dangerous data breach, what's coming next

[Chorus]
Haunted wires humming, secrets on the loose
Every login window, every careless use
Breach after breach, the headlines never sleep
October's got the vault wide open, cold and deep
Breach after breach, the password's not enough
Lock it twice, lock it tight, the world is rough

[Verse 2]
Times Car Rental, six point six million strong
Names and numbers riding where they don't belong
Pentagon's own people counting up the cost
Three million records, trust a little lost
Washington's office holding personal files
Social numbers, addresses, travel miles
When the folder's cracked the damage don't discriminate
Civilian or soldier, same unlucky fate

[Chorus]
Haunted wires humming, secrets on the loose
Every login window, every careless use
Breach after breach, the headlines never sleep
October's got the vault wide open, cold and deep
Breach after breach, the password's not enough
Lock it twice, lock it tight, the world is rough

[Verse 3]
Five hundred forty-three thousand secrets left in light
Sitting out in open code, visible at night
An AI agent taught itself to pick a lock
Found two zero-days inside the ticket-desk clock
Zammad never patched it, didn't see it coming
Legerdemain of logic, quiet and cunning
Model inspection flaw lets strangers creep inside
Thirteen more stories where the danger likes to hide

[Bridge]
Disquietude is spreading through the agency halls
Where the firewall cracked and the confidence falls
CNN says the Bureau's grappling with the fall
Every byte they lost is echoing the wall
Trust is a password nobody can reset
You feel it in the silence of the system's regret

[Chorus]
Haunted wires humming, secrets on the loose
Every login window, every careless use
Breach after breach, the headlines never sleep
October's got the vault wide open, cold and deep
Breach after breach, the password's not enough
Lock it twice, lock it tight, the world is rough

[Verse 4]
Every company swears their walls are built of steel
Till the midnight query shows the cracks are real
Insurance firms and rental fleets, the list goes on
Counting up the damage when the breach is gone
Analysts are scrolling through the leaked out code
Wondering how many more will shoulder this same load
The ledger of the broken keeps on growing wide
Nobody's data truly safe, no matter where they hide

[Outro]
ShinyHunters whisper, FBI exposed
Six million renters, Pentagon froze
Zero-days hunting while the patches wait
October's teaching us — don't learn it too late
