What is confirmed
In a 23 September statement, the FBI acknowledged a criminal group's claim of a compromise of fbijobs.gov and alleged impact on employee personal data.
The FBI says it is investigating with portal vendors. It has not established whether the entry point was a third party or its own environment.
What it means
Reuters reported ShinyHunters’ claim on 22 September. A claim alone does not establish which records were viewed or copied. The statement does not give a number of affected applicants.
Impersonated recruiting messages could exploit this news, but a campaign tied to this incident has not been established.
What to do
If you applied, check messages through the official site entered directly and follow any individual notice.
Do not send ID or credentials to someone invoking the incident without independently verifying the official channel.
