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 October 2, 2026, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) countered claims made by the hacking group ShinyHunters, stating it played a role in the arrest of one of the group's members in the Netherlands. Earlier the same day, the FBI reported that the weak point behind a breach of its jobs portal remained undetermined, with investigators assessing whether the vulnerability lay with a third party or within the bureau's own systems. On October 1, the FBI considered the "AI gap" in federal investigations, examining the challenge of adopting artificial intelligence swiftly enough to match sophisticated defense teams and the permissibility of defense teams using AI on government-produced evidence. Previously, on September 30, Brett Leatherman, assistant director of the FBI's cyber division, vowed to pursue members of ShinyHunters after the group claimed last week to have stolen sensitive data from the FBI. Also on September 30, the FBI's first-ever unclassified Cyber Strategy, originally released on September 9, became public, outlining four key pillars: disrupting adversaries, supporting victims, strengthening partnerships, and building capabilities.
