NEW: Yesterday, 404 Media broke news of the FBI breach. Now, we've discovered it has exposed the FBI's own hacking unit. The FBI's Remote Operations Unit (ROU) is a highly secretive team of hackers making exploits and tools to break into target’s devices. Some of its members just got exposed.
404 Media164404 Media first broke news of the breach on Tuesday. The group responsible, ShinyHunters, shared a list of 5,000 alleged FBI officials with 404 Media. 404 Media verified parts of the data by cross-referencing it with open source records and other tools.
franklyspeaking06.bsky.social34Remember that Cyber Security Department that Trump and DOGE did away with hmm might have come in handy
lavndrblue.bsky.social28I “guarantee” it was on purpose. Another Federal agency and the employees exposed to China and Russia, continuing to destroy all agencies that protect us. WHO RUNS THE FBI????? Kash Patel.

𝔸𝕞𝕪 𝔹. 💚🌱 #voteforyourlife! #protectdemocracy 🗳️💙🌊10Now get the Epstein files
dabxdee.bsky.social10The real welfare queens and terrorists are not coming from other countries, they're right on Capitol Hill, holding office, wearing robes and badges, and running multi billion dollar corporations. All on your dime. Your oppression is their profession. pathological psychopaths.
Anadarko5These the guys in charge of finding Nancy Guthrie?
Teddy Rebooted 🔔🇺🇸 🇺🇦💯4In Patel's defense, he was drunk at the time.
StarKitty 🏳️⚧️2Lmao pure gold. Excellent work
Fights🏳️⚧️4🇵🇸Love2Yeah, the FBI ain’t what it used to be They were always screw ups and clowns, but now they can’t even hide it behind a veneer of professionalism So long, feds! You can’t even “protect and serve” yourselves!
Instrument of surrender2That is fucking hilarious holy shit
New: from 404 Media. The catastrophic FBI hack also exposed the FBI's own hacking unit. The Remote Operations Unit is a highly secretive part of the FBI, responsible for making tools to break into peoples' devices. Some of their names and addresses are in the data www.404media.co/fbi-hack-exp...

sandraeb.bsky.social7Pity they couldn’t have hacked the Epstein files
ladyvanilla.bsky.social6and we can be sure it has nothing to do with what DOGE did said nobody ever
FanOfWalt3Has Kash made a statement yet about how all that reporting is fake and also he’s arrested the people who committed the crimes that, remember, are fake and never occurred, yet, he’s a hero for stopping them?
Lpeterp2An administration that won't protect the confidentiality of FBI employees is not going to protect OUR confidential information.
Emily1The hacker group is called ShinyHunters. Apparently they were retaliating for an FBI bulletin on the group's extortion tactics. They got data on employers and all the applicants, too. I wonder if they know which ones are sleeping with goats?
bumphrey.bsky.social1Back in the day confidential records of government agencies were maintained in paper files at a secure, guarded site. If someone wanted to steal personnel records they would have to get a truck, break into the site and load up. Nowadays AI can hack any database. Which system is safer?
The cybercriminal group ShinyHunters says it penetrated FBI-related systems and obtained highly sensitive personnel information. Journalists have examined samples containing thousands of purported FBI records. #TheCityBrief
Jules⚖️📨21What remains unresolved is the precise system compromised, the full amount of information taken, and whether the hackers’ largest claims are accurate.
Earthbiscuit12Please do the DOJ, next, shiny hunters we really need to see those Epstein Files
Crazy Cricket 💙🌵☕️ 🌊 🐶 🎶🪷6How about those Epstein files?
The Trump Crisis6Did they find the Epstein files or have those files been moved to the bathroom at Mar A Lago?
DDagger20245Any chance there's a left- or right-turn road in there that gets them to the Epstein Files?? 🤞
minutesdrag.bsky.social4This is what happens when you dismantle the cyber security department, FFS!
A hacker group known as ShinyHunters claimed it compromised employee records.
#Nov2026 🌊🌊 Vote for Democracy 🗳️ - ICE❌11'stupid is a stupid does...' The Trump administration has implemented significant budget cuts and structural changes to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and related cybersecurity initiatives. techcrunch.com/2026/02/25/u...
MPeas4What asshats. Why not hack the Epstein files.
Chris⚖️Justice1FBI getting hacked is a sign of the times This incompetent criminal regime
virtualreality4me.bsky.social1Release the ICE gestapo payroll information
Heidi C Melena1This is over reach to the fuckingmax where both sides benefit and We the People suffer further as our privacy and autonomy no longer exists in absolution. You’re all awake to this yes? I am disabled or I would be screaming at the federal courthouse right now who are entrusted to protect our Rights
risklady.bsky.social1Oh fun. Something to further distract Patel.
The apparent ShinyHunters hack of the FBI 1) appears real 2) is alarming for counterintel reasons but also the possibility of criminals seeking retribution against FBI agents 3) is just latest security lapse at an FBI that has suffered a series of major breaches www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...
Dustin Volz18“What worries me most is how any criminal with a grudge could use this data to target and physically harm not only the F.B.I. agents who investigated them, but also those agents’ families,” former senior FBI official Cynthia Kaiser said. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...
Simon Delagrave, PhD2I am afraid that Organized crime is running it and has already forced out agents.
Lost Kender2The Trump regime is working as intended.
onlydaffodil.bsky.social1I'm sure *hic* Kash is on top of this *hic* *baaaaa*
nicegitch.bsky.social1With the help of AI I assume.
DarkMatter2026 💙🇺🇸1Did they find the bestiality file?
J.M. Berger PRE-ORDER THE POPE'S HITMAN25Looks like they really screwed the pooch... Which is not disqualifying at the FBI these days.
bjkeefe2Clearly, what we need are more loyalty tests.
calizaybak.bsky.social2I can't wait to see how Patel made this happen and how Axios will report that Private President Trump is going to replace him according to unnamed sources and then... nothing until the next one where the cycle begins anew.
More on this FBI hack: A criminal hacking group said it stole “a large tranche of sensitive personnel information belonging to thousands of F.B.I. officials in what would amount to a stunning breach of private data for the nation’s top law enforcement agency.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...
addakisson.bsky.social3Someone needs to get them to hack the Epstein Files.
ownedlib.bsky.social1Let's hope they stole the unrelated Epstein files & plan to release them.
mozzy2025.bsky.social1You sure it wasn’t Elon Musk and his group of young adults who down loaded information through all branches of government
Greg Greene (he/him/his)27Gotta hand it to cold, hard Ka$h. Nobody before him has had the _talent_ to lead the nation’s premier counterintelligence service straight into getting pwned.
ᕼᗴᗪᗩ 🩵 🐶 🇺🇦✌️5Are we about to find out who's into Beastiality?😎
meta2Ahhhh, so the FBI has been DOGE'd. Thoughts and prayers.
