Foreign hacker reportedly breached FBI servers holding Epstein files in 2023

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”.

China Suspected in Breach of FBI Surveillance Network

U.S. investigators believe hackers affiliated with the Chinese government are responsible for a cyber intrusion on an internal Federal Bureau of Investigation computer network that holds information related to some domestic surveillance orders, according to people familiar with the matter.

The scope and severity of the intrusion are not known, and the investigation is in its early stages, the people said. Any preliminary conclusions could change as investigators gather more information.

If China is confirmed to be responsible for the breach, it would signal the latest intrusion by Beijing’s hackers of computer systems related to law-enforcement surveillance orders, which contain highly sensitive material.

Report Raises Serious Concerns About FBI’s Surveillance of Religious Organizations and Journalists

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Roughly translated, this means “Who guards the guardians?”

While many attribute the phrase to the Roman poet Juvenal, I first heard it in an episode of Justice League Unlimited, a kids’ cartoon about the adventures of Superman, Batman, and their assorted costumed friends. It’s an apt phrase for contextualizing the recent news concerning the FBI and its use of assessments to surveil and investigate Americans at whim.

Mystery deepens as to why it took FBI over 5 years to finally bust the suspected J6 pipe bomber

The arrest of the alleged J6 pipe bomber just lumps mystery on top of mystery.

What we know from court documents and media reports since his arrest Thursday is that suspect Brian Cole Jr., is a black, 30-year-old loner who lives in his mom’s basement in the middle-class suburb of Woodbridge, Va., a 20-minute drive from Washington, DC. According to his family, he is borderline autistic, and incapable of such a crime.

Miranda Devine: FBI, Secret Service butchered the Thomas Crooks case and invited conspiracies – we deserve the truth

We are all owed a better explanation from the FBI and Secret Service about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump 16 months ago at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

The president himself remains unsatisfied with the answers he’s been given about the circumstances leading to 20-year-old Thomas Crooks climbing on a rooftop with an AR-15-style rifle and firing eight times at Trump, narrowly missing his head but hitting his ear.

The Latest FBI Spying Makes Watergate Look Trivial

In 1972, a small team of operatives connected to President Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee’s offices in the Watergate complex to install listening devices. To this day, there is no conclusive evidence that Nixon personally ordered — or even knew of — the break-in beforehand. Yet Watergate shaped American political consciousness for decades. It gave the world a permanent suffix for scandal and became the ultimate symbol of abuse of power, a crisis so severe that it culminated in the only resignation of a U.S. president to preempt removal from office.

FBI Fires agents, Dismantles Corruption Squad After Probe Unveils Monitoring of GOP Senators

The FBI has already terminated employees and abolished the CR-15 squad just one day after it was revealed that several Republicans’ private communications and phone calls had been tracked.

FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday announced the actions the bureau had taken in response to the revelation of the “baseless monitoring” during the Biden administration and promised more actions to come.

FBI Director Kash Patel Cuts Ties With ADL, Slams Comey’s ‘Love Letters’ to Group

FBI Director Kash Patel announced this week that the bureau is formally ending its partnership with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), distancing the agency from a relationship that began under former FBI Director James Comey.

“James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans. That was not law enforcement, it was activism dressed up as counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger,” Patel told Fox News Digital.

“That era is finished. This FBI formally rejects Comey’s policies and any partnership with the ADL,” he added.

FBI fires agents who kneeled during George Floyd “social justice” farce

The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington DC that followed the 2020 murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press on Friday.

The bureau last spring had reassigned the agents but has since fired them, said the people, who insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel matters with the AP.

The number of FBI employees terminated was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.

Kash and the Killers – Unearthing the skeletons in the FBI closet.

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, FBI director Kash Patel announced a suspect in custody when Tyler Robinson was still at large. That caused the conservative Christopher Rufo to wondering if Patel was the right man for the FBI job. That charge leaves plenty to ponder.

The FBI failed to prevent the assassination of Kirk, so Patel’s haste to pin down a suspect is understandable, and much of what emerges in the early going is wrong. The fugitive was only captured when relatives turned him in, which brings to mind another case.

Kash Patel Is Cleaning House at the FBI, and It’s Glorious

FBI Director Kash Patel is making the bold moves that the bureau desperately needed, cleaning house and rooting out the lingering partisan bad actors who have long compromised the agency’s integrity. In a decisive shake-up, the FBI is ousting key officials, including former acting director Brian Driscoll, special agent Walter Giardina, who played a role in targeting Donald Trump advisor Peter Navarro, and Washington Field Office acting director Steven Jensen, a pivotal figure in the January 6 investigations. These removals come swiftly and with no detailed explanations, but insiders describe them plainly as retribution: a necessary reckoning.

Docs: Soros Executive Predicted FBI Would ‘Put More Oil Into The Fire’ Of Russia Hoax

Records obtained by U.S. intelligence officials indicate the FBI would play a role in putting “more oil into the fire” of the Russia collusion hoax ahead of the 2016 presidential election, according to newly declassified documents released Thursday.

The apparent revelation was included in a previously classified appendix that was a part of John Durham’s 2023 Special Counsel report on the origins of the fabricated scheme attempting to advance the falsehood that Donald Trump colluded with Moscow to steal the 2016 contest.
