Special thanks to the @MEStatePolice, the New Gloucester Fire & Rescue Department & @FBINewHaven for partnering with #FBI Boston to host a post-blast course for federal, state & local law enforcement partners. The training focused on recognizing, understanding, & safely responding to the dangers posed by homemade explosives & the forensic collection of evidence after a blast. Strengthening capabilities and coordination with our partners is essential to staying ahead of today’s evolving threats.

The FBI is aware of a cyber-criminal enterprise group claiming a compromise of the FBIJobs.gov portal and alleged impact to FBI employee personally identifiable information (PII). While the point of breach is still undetermined—whether a third-party or the FBI’s enterprise—we are actively and aggressively investigating this matter and working closely with those third-party providers that support FBIJobs.gov to mitigate any and all risk.
