Hacker accessed FBI server that included Epstein files in 2023, files suggest [View all]

A hacker in 2023 was able to access an FBI server that contained some files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to documents released by the Department of Justice earlier this year.

In a statement issued Wednesday, the FBI said an investigation into the “cyber incident” is ongoing.

“Following the 2023 cyber incident, the FBI contained the affected network and determined the incident to be an isolated one,” the statement said. “The FBI restricted access to the malicious actor and rectified the network. The investigation remains ongoing, so we do not have further comments to provide at this time.”

Files released earlier this year by the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Transparency Act suggested that the hacker accessed “certain files pertaining to the Epstein investigation.” According to an email and sworn account by the FBI agent who identified the incident, a hacker was able to access a server related to the FBI's New York Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
