How extensive is the recent FBI database hack and what new details have emerged?
We are now learning that the massive hack into the FBI database is much worse than even initially reported. And I do want to remind you that not only has the FBI databases been hacked this past week, they were also hacked back in February of this year. Kash Patel's personal emails were hacked in March of this year. The Department of Homeland Security had its database hacked in June of this year. And in August, there were 30 water facilities in Minnesota and close to seven to 10 water facilities or so in Michigan that were hacked as well. There was a pervasive hacking issue and the vulnerabilities that currently exist in our government systems with the incompetence of the Trump regime. It's being covered up, but I think we're learning more and more about it, especially right now with this latest hack by Shiny Hunters.
I mean, they plastered their imagery on the FBI jobs page. When you went to FBI jobs, it would say Shiny Hunters has basically taken over this website. And what we now know is that some of the data that was taken. I mean, it just goes beyond the information of a lot of FBI personnel and their spouses and where they live and other confidential personnel information about these FBI employees. But according to this Reuters report from earlier this morning, The FBI data allegedly stolen by the hacking group Shiny Hunters carries granular detail about scores of bureau officials' job assignments, including sensitive work against Chinese spies, Russian intelligence, drug cartels, and more. And this is particularly interesting as well as it comes on the same time or comes on the heels right around the same time as Xi Jinping, of course, arriving in the United States, Donald Trump bowing to Xi Jinping at that bizarre tarmac event.
joint Andrews Base meeting that we covered here, where Donald Trump made our Air Force personnel and Army personnel literally get on their knees with the red carpet for Xi Jinping. Here's what 404 is reporting. They've been doing extraordinary reporting on these hacks.
What sensitive FBI personnel data and counter‑intelligence work was exposed?
This is the latest from them. FBI hack exposed FBI's own hacking unit as well. So the FBI has a remote operations unit called ROU, and it's a highly secretive team of the FBI hackers. And the ability to gain information into them, that's now been exposed. What they do, how the FBI hacks databases, that's being exposed by this most recent hack. So 404 goes on to say, "...the catastrophic hack of at least thousands of FBI officials' personal data, including their address phone numbers and even their spouses' personal data, includes members of the FBI's secretive hacking team, potentially revealing who exactly is in that unit." 404 Media has found. The findings further highlight how sensitive the stolen data is and how valuable it may be to criminals or to foreign intelligence agencies.
There is very little public information about the FBI's hacking unit, including the operation it conducts, the tools it used, or which agents are part of it. Now, I should also note as I'm reading this, I reflect on the fact that that we now know for sure China has analyzed and working to reverse engineer those F-35 parts that were supposed to be sent from Australia back to the United States, but they found their way into Hong Kong, and then they found their way further into the broader Beijing area. intelligence apparatus, the sloppiness of which the Trump regime does everything, the fact that they gutted so many people responsible for cybersecurity. If this is what we're seeing shiny hunters do,
Just think about what foreign intelligence agencies have been able to penetrate. And we know this Trump regime covers up everything. What does China know about our systems? What does Russia know about our systems? What does any intelligence agency, North Korea, what does any intelligence agency know about our systems? I can be pretty damn confident that they've got all this data and they're just eating it up right now. So the FBI's recent statement was, we're aware of a cybercriminal enterprise group claiming a compromise of the FBI jobs.gov portal and alleged impact to FBI employee personally identifying information.
