Federal Bureau of Investigation, also known as FBI, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the US, founded in 1908 and employing approximately 9,430 individuals. The agency's primary function is law enforcement, serving as the US domestic national crime agency.
US authorities recently seized domains associated with the "NightmareStresser" DDoS-for-hire service, which is accused of facilitating hundreds of thousands of cyberattacks worldwide. This follows the FBI's confirmation on September 17 of a second cyberattack on an oil tanker en route to Texas, with both incidents being investigated for potential links to Iran. One affected tanker reportedly lost communications for 30 hours, with hackers gaining control over engine-room systems on the vessel carrying nearly 2.3 million barrels of oil. Earlier on September 17, the FBI joined the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in releasing a joint advisory (AA26-251A) that accused six China-based artificial intelligence companies, including DeepSeek and Alibaba, of conducting "industrial-scale campaigns" to extract proprietary capabilities from US frontier AI models.
