ShinyHunters claims theft of 2-3TB of FBI employee data via Oracle zero-day

Hacking group ShinyHunters says it stole terabytes of sensitive data on FBI employees and job applicants, exploiting a zero-day flaw in Oracle's PeopleSoft software to breach Amazon Web Services' GovCloud. A sample reviewed by Reuters and 404 Media reportedly includes names, addresses, birthdates and Social Security numbers for about 5,000 employees, and the group also claimed responsibility for briefly hijacking the FBI's website. The FBI confirmed it is investigating a claimed compromise of the FBIJobs.gov portal and possible exposure of employee personal information.

The ShinyHunters extortion group told BleepingComputer it exploited a new remote-code-execution flaw in Oracle PeopleSoft to access FBI systems and move into FBI-managed AWS GovCloud infrastructure, claiming theft of 2-3TB of data including employee, applicant, HR and Medlink records. The group shared a screenshot showing the FBI Jobs site defaced with its logo and a message asserting sensitive PII/PHI had been stolen, and said the FBI quickly took the affected systems offline.
