ShinyHunters tells The Reg: We hacked the FBI to 'protect our business'

ShinyHunters, a data theft and extortion group, hacked the FBI’s FBIJobs.gov portal to publicly dispute allegations of their involvement in a previous data breach targeting Instructure’s Canvas platform. They claim this was a public relations effort to counter negative publicity and bolster their reputation as a professional extortion operation, despite the harm inflicted on victims. The FBI continues to investigate, and Oracle has not yet released a patch for the PeopleSoft zero-day.
