The meaning of "personal info" sure has been diluted, this is zoominfo level data (in fact, based on a quick look it could very well be scraped from there).

- simplicio 11y agoYea, I've worked for a few gov't agencies over the years, and most of them have had basically the same info on a public facing "who's who" webpage. The identities and job titles of public employees is public information. Internal email addresses and phone numbers might be a little more problematic, since they could be spam targets. But it'd be a pretty brave/dumb spammer or prank caller who targets the FBI.
- ryanlol 11y agoThis stuff might even be covered by FOIA, since it's just official contact info.
- jug 11y agoYes, the problem according to the FBI indeed seems to be more about the unauthorized breach than the information actually contained: > “This unauthorized access is still under investigation; however, there is no indication at this time that there is any breach of sensitive personally identifiable information,” DOJ spokesperson Peter Carr said in a statement.
