Special agents' blood and urine test results stolen in FBI hack
The infamous hacking group ShinyHunters has revealed that they have stolen extensive medical and fitness records from thousands of FBI special agents, according to BBC News. The cyber-criminals claim they accessed the data on Monday and posted details about the breach online, demanding the FBI retract a previous advisory that offended them.
The stolen records contain sensitive information such as blood and urine test results, doctors' notes mentioning conditions like shellfish and banana allergies, as well as full names and addresses of the agents. Experts warn that the breach could leave agents vulnerable to scams, blackmail, and targeted attacks, as well as enable criminals to impersonate law enforcement officers. The FBI has acknowledged the breach and is actively investigating the incident.
