The Shiny Hunters group, which defaced the FBI's jobs site and threatened to leak data on federal agents unless the FBI apologized, has abruptly backed off—likely due to intense FBI pressure 1:51-2:07.
Key Takeaways:
• A week prior, Shiny Hunters defaced FBIjobs.gov, threatening to release data on thousands of agents—including sensitive medical records—unless the FBI apologized 0:07-1:08.
• The group now denies extortion, calling the stunt a "marketing campaign" to combat "disinformation" 1:51-4:07.
• The FBI listing vanished from their leak site—unusual for a group that publishes major breaches—suggesting the FBI has "kicked things up a notch" 9:44-10:06.
• Google's Mandiant found the breach method: URL-encoding a character in the request path bypassed WAF rules on Oracle PeopleSoft 6:42-7:40.
• Sources suggest Shiny Hunters was taken over by a teen hacker "Rey" of Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, amid drama with Russian gang Qilin 12:34-13:44.
The host predicts serious arrests may follow, and while disappointed by the non-leak, is relieved personal data on agents and families won't be exposed 14:56-17:03.

Hello guys and gals. Me Mudahar and we've got a insane turn of events on that FBI hack story ladies and gentlemen. So about a week ago a group known as the shiny hunters defaced a Federal Bureau of Investigations website FBI jobs.gov. In fact if you go to this page right now it's still unavailable. So anybody here who's like damn I really want to apply for that FBI. Well going to have to hold off a little bit. Why was this taken down? Well, apparently this group, Shiny Hunters, as I covered a few days ago or several days ago, it's a very fastmoving story.
