20,000 undercover agents data leaked on the dark web by inexperienced hacker

Synopsis

In November 2016, a 15-year-old hacked the FBI and released detailed information about every undercover FBI officer in the US releasing the information onto the Dark Web.

This hack was described as lacking sophistication and the hacker considered amateur which caused concern that a US government system was vulnerable to such an attack.
