(Reuters) - The FBI said Sunday that hackers did not access any data or personal information on its network, a day after they compromised an agency server to send out thousands of fake emails.

The agency said it has fixed the software vulnerability that allowed the attack.

The fake emails originated from an FBI-operated server, which was dedicated to pushing notifications to the Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP), which the FBI uses to communicate with state and local agencies. The compromised server was not part of the FBI’s corporate email service, the FBI added https://

The fake emails warned of a cyberattack and appeared to come from a legitimate FBI email address ending in @ic.fbi.gov, the FBI said.

If hackers got fbi data, we will see lots of dark secrets from important people n states/countries on wikileak
Lol fbi jobs to investigate cross states crime. China bots r demanding fbi to hand over data.
how do we know they didn't get any data? they need to show us the proof so we an analyze for ourselves.
Got no data, yeah, I believe that. NOT! Surprises me that Reuters aren't selling any Unicorns to people who actually believe the *******they write.
Glad they were able to stop it, I'm sure foreign powers have enough dirt on Biden and the Dems.  Why else would they be playing nice with everyone after all their harsh rhetoric earlier this year and last year.  We're still waiting for them to retaliate against Putin, like Biden and the Dems said they would.
Hmmmm... lots of high profile hacking news lately. Planting the seed for what 'causes' the next crash?
