FBI press office apparently infiltrated

Editor's note: On Jan. 28, FBI officials told Nextgov the agency's website was not in fact compromised.

Hactivist group TeamBerserk recently claimed to have hacked the website of the bureau’s public affairs division and deposited several unclassified documents online.

In a statement posted to Web bulletin board Pastebin, the hackers wrote, "There are real threats out there against all Americans and the United States. Most of the threats are bulls**t, but we felt that many of you needed to see a selection of these documents to demonstrate that there are in fact real dangers. Americans are under attack on a daily basis by all kinds of dangerous people, dangerous foreigners and even some of our own citizens."

The group published a link to a zip file containing 59.2MB of unclassified files covering topics ranging from bath salts to the Boston Marathon bombings.
