Eleven killed in shooting at house party in Durban, South Africa

The FBI has launched an investigation after hacking collective ShinyHunters claimed on Tuesday that it had stolen personnel data belonging to the U.S. agency. ShinyHunters is a well-known cybercriminal group that previously gained notoriety in the Netherlands for a series of high-profile data breaches. The group has a track record of stealing and selling sensitive personal and corporate data on dark web forums. The claim raises serious concerns about the security of federal employee information and potential exposure of sensitive government data. If confirmed, the breach could have significant implications for U.S. national security and the individuals whose data may have been compromised. The FBI has not yet publicly confirmed the extent or validity of the hackers' claims. This incident underscores the growing threat posed by organized hacking collectives targeting government institutions.
