A senior FBI official has made an unusually public request to the hacking group ShinyHunters, telling the cybercriminals on Tuesday they should get in touch following a wide-ranging breach of the bureau’s job site.
In a video address posted to X on Tuesday, FBI Assistant Director Brett Leatherman said the recent arrest of a Dutch man in connection with the ShinyHunters investigation should serve as a warning.
“Other groups believed anonymity or their friends would protect them, and they were wrong,” said Leatherman, who leads the FBI’s Cyber Division. “You know how to find us, and we know how to find you. I suggest you reach out first while the choice is still yours.”
