FBI Investigates Hacking Group’s Claims of Data Breach on FBIJobs.gov
The FBI is investigating claims by a hacking group that it stole sensitive employee data and compromised the FBIJobs.gov website.
Greenville New Bern Washington, NC, September 23, 2026 —
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched an investigation into allegations made by a hacking group. The group claims to have accessed and stolen sensitive employee data and to have compromised the FBIJobs.gov website.
The specific details of the alleged data breach, including the nature of the sensitive employee information purportedly exfiltrated, have not been publicly disclosed by the FBI or the hacking group. Similarly, the extent of the compromise to the FBIJobs.gov website remains under investigation.
FBIJobs.gov serves as the official portal for prospective employees seeking to join the FBI, listing job opportunities and facilitating the application process. A successful compromise of this site could potentially expose personal information submitted by job applicants and current or former employees.
The hacking group’s claims are currently being assessed as part of the ongoing FBI inquiry. No official confirmation regarding the veracity or scope of the alleged breach has been provided by law enforcement agencies.
The FBI has not released information regarding the identity of the hacking group making the claims, nor has it specified a timeline for the completion of its investigation. Further updates are anticipated as the investigation progresses.
