FBI leaders have warned that hackers who breached AT&T's system last year likely stole months of agents' call and text logs, prompting an urgent effort to safeguard confidential informants' identities,

They believe hackers who broke into AT&T Inc.’s system last year stole months of their agents’ call and text logs.

The devices used to spark three ballot drop box fires in the Pacific Northwest during the 2024 election were made of a "very volatile mix" of thermite and scrap metal, FBI agents said Thursday.

We’re very worried this person may harm himself or others if he continues to experiment with thermite,” said W. Mike Harrington, the FBI special agent in charge in the Seattle office.

The FBI said Thursday the suspect in the Oregon and Washington ballot box fires in October used a welding material that can burn at 4,000 degrees.
