  "account": "Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hackers claim to have breached the agency and stolen employee data, according to the digital extortion group ShinyHunters. The bureau did not respond to requests for comment on Tuesday. ShinyHunters posted the claim on its dark-web site and during an online chat with Reuters. The group provided a screenshot of a vandalized FBI job site and a sample of stolen data, though Reuters was unable to verify the authenticity of the screenshot. The FBI job site and the Special Agent Applicant Portal were both inaccessible on Tuesday. Partially verified FBI personnel information matched nine cases, but Reuters could not confirm the source or origin of the data.",
