ShinyHunters hackers say they won't leak sensitive FBI data

According to CBC News, ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for stealing a massive trove of data from the FBI[1], and the group gave the law enforcement agency one week to rescind an unflattering statement about the group.[1]CBC reports that the group shared a sample with journalists, and that it included names, addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, social security numbers and emergency contact details for what it claimed were thousands of FBI employees.[2]When CBC asked about those samples, the representative said "that is out of our control and certain journalists violated our trust."[2]The group told Nextgov/FCW that "This was all a marketing campaign to protect our business and actively combat disinformation."[3] Nextgov also reported that its latest statement does not say it has deleted the records.[3]According to Nextgov/FCW, Reuters reported Friday that records circulated by the hackers included psychiatric and medical evaluations.[3]Ian Lin of Packetlabs told CBC News he does not have high hopes ShinyHunters will keep their word[1]. He said "There's going to be people that are willing to pay a high price for this data."[4]NPR reports that the FBI's Brett Leatherman vowed Tuesday to hunt down the members of a cybercriminal group going by the name of ShinyHunters[5]. He warned them: "You know how to find us, and we know how to find you"[5].
