The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reportedly told its agents and support staff that their personal information was stolen in a recent cyberattack that targeted the bureau’s job application portal.
It’s the bureau’s first acknowledgement that the personal information of FBI agents was taken in the breach. The FBI has not publicly confirmed a breach beyond a statement last week, in which it said it was aware that a hacking group had claimed a cyberattack, but that the theft of data was “still undetermined.”
