the group that hit rockstar is now saying they hacked the fbi

So the crew that caused Rockstar all that grief a while back is back in the news. PC Gamer has a piece up saying the hacking group that previously breached Rockstar is now claiming they've hacked the FBI. They're saying they hold data on every FBI employee and applicant. That's a hell of a claim.
The article itself is weirdly thin though. The body is just one line about "the status of the Gibson" being unknown. No idea what that's supposed to mean. Maybe it's a reference to something from their earlier stuff, or maybe the writer just got a weird tip. Either way, the headline is doing all the work here.
For GTA 6 folks, this group is the one that messed with Rockstar before. I'm not going to rehash what they leaked back then, but anyone who was around remembers the chaos. Now they're pivoting to federal agencies? That's a massive jump. Either they're lying for clout, or they've actually got something. Hard to say.
I don't think this changes anything for the November release. Rockstar's already been through the wringer with security, and they've tightened things up since. But it does make me wonder if there's still stuff floating around from the old breach that hasn't surfaced yet. Not that I want to see any of it. The game's close enough now that I'd rather just wait.
Still, it's a weird headline to wake up to. A hacking group that hit a game studio now claiming the FBI is on their list. If it's true, that's a whole different level of trouble. If it's fake, it's a sad flex. Either way, I'm just here for the GTA 6 countdown.
