Reporting stated the White House was working with the FBI, NSA, and CISA to respond to an apparent breach of an FBI surveillance system disclosed to Congress. The system is unclassified but contains law-enforcement sensitive information, including returns from legal process such as pen register and trap-and-trace surveillance returns, and personally identifiable information about subjects of FBI investigations. The report did not identify the attacker, intrusion vector, or the full scope/timeline of access.
