> In late September, ShinyHunters hacked the FBI recruitment website fbijobs.gov

The OPM breach was 11 years ago and apparently the incompetence still reigns.

Breaking Bad vibes here. "You don't want a ransom negociator, you want a ransom negociator!"

Working in the IR space I’ve had a lot of opportunities to work with negotiators before. Most of them are extremely professional and worth their weight in gold for what they provide to their clients.

Ridiculous that scumbags like this are tarnishing that space.
