Federal Bureau of Investigation, also known as FBI, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the US, founded in 1908 and employing approximately 9,430 individuals. The agency's primary function is law enforcement, serving as the US domestic national crime agency.
On September 4, 2026, FBI Deputy Director Christopher Raia announced the bureau uses artificial intelligence to process thousands of daily tips, reducing the time from threat identification to field action from weeks to hours or minutes. This technology has helped the FBI respond faster to credible threats, aligning with a 20-year low in violent crime rates nationwide. Earlier on September 4, the FBI launched an investigation into a potential breach at an ID verification company, which reportedly exposed scans of over 160 million North American driver’s licenses, with access to this data being sold on a new service called Nexus via a cybercrime forum. On September 3, the FBI seized Hamas-linked fundraising infrastructure and more than $560,000 in cryptocurrency donations, turning the pipeline into a law-enforcement trap. This operation followed earlier court-authorized seizures of digital assets connected to Hamas fundraising. Also on September 3, the FBI, in conjunction with the Central Bureau of Investigation in India and local partners, dismantled a large-scale scam call center targeting Americans. The criminal syndicates employed Voice over IP (VoIP) technology to hide their locations while cold-calling victims in the United States.
