The FBI is urgently investigating claims by the hacking group ShinyHunters that it breached sensitive employee data. The group allegedly used a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle PeopleSoft software to access the information. ShinyHunters gave the FBI one week to comply with demands or risk a data leak, according to reports.

The FBI has not confirmed the breach but stated it is actively investigating whether the breach originated from a third-party or its own systems. The FBI's jobs site remains inaccessible, and employees have been warned to take protective measures. ShinyHunters claims its motive is not financial but to "set the record straight." Oracle has not commented on the alleged vulnerability.
