According to a Reuters report, a foreign hacker broke into a server that was part of the FBI’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein — without realizing they had hacked an FBI server.
If a hacker got in that server those files would be release unredacted everywhere not far right controlled
Nah, most blackhat hackers are deeply shitty people. The idea of noble robinhood style hackers is romantic as fuck so you hear about it all the time, but the vast majority are thugs looking to do things like hold your data hostage or stick hidden volumes full of child porn on unsecured remote systems. The hacker known as 4chan fucking loves Epstein, and while 4chan is a shell of its former self, it’s a great indicator of the attitudes of the subculture.
Most hackers aren’t even picking specific targets. They just scan every server they can connect to for various known vulnerabilities and go after whichever servers they can find a route into.
I can easily believe a hacker would break into a sensitive government server without knowing or caring about its contents.

Come again?
There was a news segment that used that phrase verbatim. I couldn’t find the clip with a cursory search, but I’m sure if you go digging for a hot second, you’ll be able to find it.
I was not seeing it under “robin hood style” hacking but more like lets piss them off governement ( iran or any other that hate them ) backed blackhat style the hacker that could blackmail them already as the data anyway ( russia, israel and probably more )
A source told Reuters that the hacker did not realize they had broken into the FBI until the agents asked them to join a video call where they showed their credentials to the hacker.
They didn’t know what they were doing and got caught immediately so no chance to leak
cool, they get to say it’s all bullshit then. Great job guys.
there was no hacker. False flag hack.
The hacker known as anonymous? Is this hacker in the room with us now?
Just another successful day at the FBI!
This shit was amazing. He broke in to a random RDP a forensics guy had been trying to get support on for weeks. Saw the CSAM and deleted it and left a message he was reporting them to the FBI then the FBI has to convince him on ZOOM call they were the FBI, please don’t delete anything else.
He had already deleted 500TB of which they recovered 400TB(google cloud support?)
TL;DR random dude RDP scanning 🤣
"The FBI is currently searching various mirrors to find the culprit. "
Y’all don’t recall that? It just happened a few weeks ago. It wasn’t FBI though, it was DOJ, and a user leaked it on Lemmy and other users went to check it out, thinking it was just going to be something innocuous.
Everyone who did so came back to the thread traumatized AF and said it was the most disgusting shit they have ever seen. The post was removed the next day. I still have the link, but there is nothing on it.
Before it was taken down, there was an ethical discussion about data conservation. Everyone figured the evidence would be destroyed so it should be saved. However, none of us wanted it and possession is illegal. I cannot confirm the user’s experience because I did not click. I can’t handle that shit.
Back them up on the darknet encrypted with a warning and the password in a txt. No government has displayed real intrest in prosecution and the FBI is complicit. I2P has torrents and TahoeLAFS. Hopefully Interpol is forced to deal with some things reported.
The Federal Breast Inspectors?
