🇺🇸 The FBI’s response to the ShinyHunters breach may be the strangest part of the story yet.
The head of the FBI’s Cyber Division has now spoken directly to the hackers:
“You know how to find us, and we know how to find you. I suggest you reach out first while the choice is still yours.”
You don’t often see the FBI talk to hackers like this in public.
The bureau is reportedly working on the assumption that every employee may have been exposed, with stolen material including medical records, Social Security numbers and details tied to sensitive intelligence work.
So this wasn’t just a warning.
It sounds like the FBI giving them one last chance to make contact before this turns into something much worse for them.

@SpaceX Falcon 9 launches are similar to airliners taking off ! Has become so routine. I wouldn’t hesitate take a flight on it to travel the world when it becomes available.

@GuntherEagleman Because when the price of oil goes down the gas prices never come back all the way and overtime it builds and adds up few Pennie’s at a time . The ones who are watching them are in their pockets !! God only knows what other taxes or tariffs has been added .
I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.
But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.
I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.
I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction.
But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.
