The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Thursday it had “identified and addressed suspicious activities” on its internal networks, adding that it had deployed all available technical resources to respond, reports Reuters.
An FBI spokesperson said the agency had “leveraged all technical capabilities to respond,” but declined to provide further details about the nature of the activity, when it was discovered, or which part of the bureau’s computer systems was affected.
According to media reports, the suspicious activity targeted a network within the FBI used for wiretaps and intelligence surveillance. Reuters said it could not independently verify those reports.
The United States Department of Justice, which oversees the FBI, referred questions about the matter back to the bureau.
U.S. government networks are routinely targeted by hackers, including cybercriminal groups and state-linked actors seeking sensitive information.
In November, the Congressional Budget Office, which provides key economic and budget analysis to lawmakers, notified several congressional offices that some of its data may have been exposed following what it described as a “cyber incident.”
Earlier, in August, Politico reported that the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts determined in July 2025 that a hack could have exposed sensitive court records across multiple U.S. states.
The incident raised concerns about the vulnerability of digital systems used across the federal judiciary.
