  "summary": "ShinyHunters, a cyber criminal group, claims it has stolen personal data on FBI employees and job applicants, according to multiple reports published on Sept. 22. The alleged stolen data includes names, home addresses, phone numbers, and details about some employees' spouses. ShinyHunters has demanded that the FBI retract the warning it released in May, which accused the group of using false allegations to extort victims. The FBI is currently investigating the claims, and its spokesperson stated that the group's actions are not financially motivated. Instead, they aim to correct or remove the false allegations made by the FBI.",
