The FBI did not immediately respond to requests for comment, Reuters reported.

ShinyHunters said in a statement posted on its dark-web site and in an online chat with Reuters that it targeted the agency in retaliation for a May 2026 FBI announcement that detailed the group’s methods and advised potential victims not to pay.

The group shared what it described as a screenshot of a vandalized FBI job site, along with a sample of allegedly stolen data. Reuters could not independently verify the authenticity of the screenshot.

A message posted on the FBI job site on Tuesday said the site and the agency’s Special Agent Applicant Portal were both “currently unavailable.”

Reuters was able to partially verify some of the allegedly stolen FBI personnel information by checking names and postal addresses against credit bureau records and previously breached data held by dark-web intelligence firm District 4 Labs.

In at least nine cases, Reuters found matching information. However, Reuters could not determine where the data originated or establish whether it had been stolen from the FBI’s internal systems, as ShinyHunters claimed.

The meeting, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, came after two phone calls between the leaders since Burnham took office in July, China Daily reported.

Burnham told reporters he and Trump had “found a connection” during those conversations, which he described as warm and cordial.

According to Reuters, Burnham wanted to press British interests even where they differed from Trump’s, but without antagonizing the US president. Trump offered no opposition when Burnham briefed him ahead of the UK’s announcement, earlier this month, of sanctions on imports from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

The two leaders’ talks were expected to cover ceasefire efforts for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Middle East, defense spending, trade, and artificial intelligence.

Burnham’s past criticism of Trump was downplayed by one UK minister on Sunday as “politics” and not a barrier to cooperation, with officials stressing defense ties, intelligence-sharing, and Ukraine as priorities.

The UK leader also hailed the deal between Denmark, Greenland, and the US to “strengthen security in the Arctic”, and said he would pass on congratulations to Trump as part of efforts to keep the wider relationship positive.

In his address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday evening, Burnham said he planned to strike a note of “hope” while warning of “dark clouds of instability” facing the world, the Associated Press reported.

The prime minister said he would use the speech to focus on artificial intelligence, arguing nations could be “clear-eyed” about both its benefits and risks.

While traveling to New York, Burnham announced limited UK military support for Saudi Arabia, including the deployment of a Royal Air Force tanker aircraft to refuel Saudi jets involved in defensive operations against Houthi missile attacks from Yemen. Burnham said the decision was about “acting to secure the interests of Britain and the wider region”.

The meeting of the two leaders followed a turbulent week after Trump told reporters on his visit to Dublin, Ireland on Sept 12-13 that he would “love” to see a united Ireland and predicted unification would “happen eventually”.

Downing Street reiterated that Burnham’s position on Northern Ireland remained unchanged and that the conditions for a border poll under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement had not been met.

Kemi Badenoch, leader of the UK’s opposition Conservative Party, accused Trump of “inflaming tensions” in Northern Ireland and called his comments “deeply unhelpful”.

Gavin Robinson, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland, said the region’s future would be “decided by the people of Northern Ireland, not by commentary in London, Dublin, or Washington”.

Trump purchased the SpaceX shares on July 10 and sold shares on July 17, according to the disclosure he signed on September 8, Reuters reported.

The transactions mark another financial connection between Trump and SpaceX, a major US military contractor and provider of space, satellite and artificial intelligence services. The company is led by Musk, who previously served as an adviser to Trump.

Reuters had previously reported that Trump bought SpaceX shares in June.

The latest transactions come as the US administration makes decisions that could affect SpaceX, which frequently seeks approvals from federal agencies and holds government contracts.

SpaceX priced the largest-ever US initial public offering on June 12, giving the company a valuation of $1.77 trillion.

After reports of Trump’s earlier SpaceX investment emerged, White House spokesman Davis Ingle said third-party financial institutions independently manage the president’s investment portfolio and replicate recognized indexes, including the Schwab 1000.

Trump’s spokesperson did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the July transactions.

The exact value of Trump’s SpaceX holdings could not immediately be determined because federal financial disclosure forms require officials to report asset values within ranges rather than provide precise figures.

The SpaceX transactions were among more than 1,000 trades Trump made in July, according to the disclosure. The Office of Government Ethics, which collects financial disclosures from US officials, published the document on Tuesday.
