A foreign hacker compromised files relating to the FBI’s investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a break-in at the bureau’s New York field office three years ago, according to a source familiar with the matter and recently published justice department documents reviewed by Reuters.
The details of who accessed a server at the FBI’s New York field office, including the allegation that a foreign hacker was involved, are being reported here for the first time.
In a statement, the FBI said what it described as a “cyber incident” was “an isolated one”.
