As an American police agency that often hears foreign dramas and movies, FBI is an agency that investigates cases related to national security such as terrorism and spies. The website of the FBI organization has been compromised by a hacker. The targets of the attack were three websites of FBINAA related organizations, including the website of ' FBI Training Academy ', a training facility for fostering strong FBI agents in Quantico, Virginia, USA. It is said that it is included. Hackers attacked vulnerabilities in at least three of the FBI-related websites, stealing data from servers on each site. Data stolen from the FBI's website seems to have been published by hackers on its own website.
The published data contains personal information about 4,000 people belonging to a federal agency, and includes confidential information such as member names, personal and government e-mail addresses, office titles, telephone numbers, and addresses. Seems to have been organized in a spreadsheet.

TechCrunch seems to have had the opportunity to hear one of the hackers who broke the FBI-related site through an encrypted chat. The hackers have said, 'We have hacked more than 1000 sites. Now we are structuring all our data, and soon they will be sold,' said the stolen data It indicates that you are planning to sell on the dark web. Also, when TechCrunch asked, 'Does the sale of data that hackers gain from data breaches put them at risk to federal agencies and law enforcement agencies?' I heard that he replied.
Hackers claiming they have been hacking more than just discovered data breaches, claiming they have 'more than one million data' on employees of several federal agencies and public service agencies in the United States And. Also, it is not uncommon for data to be sold on hacker forums or the dark web, but if hackers get such data for free, it can prove that something 'something interesting' will occur. It seems to be talking.
Hackers have sent a link to TechCrunch to the website of the FBINAA branch that they hacked. When I opened this link in the Tor browser, 'I was able to confirm that the website has been tampered with,' TechCrunch notes.

According to hackers that TechCrunch has successfully contacted, hacking to FBI-related websites is only one of the data breaches they've been to, and many of the websites targeted by hacking are up-to-date 'They kept using old plug-ins,' said hackers.
In the chat, hackers also presented evidence that they violated multiple websites, including subdomains belonging to the manufacturing giant Foxconn. One of the links TechCrunch has confirmed via chat is to check the back end of the webmail system where personal information such as email addresses and phone numbers for thousands of employees can be confirmed without requiring a username or password. It seems that was done. The purpose of the hacker is 'experience and money'.
TechCrunch seems to have asked FBINAA to comment on this matter, but it has not been received because it was out of business hours.
