Wow, what an odd story. It really sounds like the attacker did not at all realize what they'd actually managed to access. How do you end up accidentally hacking the FBI?

From the original Reuters article (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/foreign-hacker-2023-comprom...):

>The person familiar with the breach said the intrusion was carried out by a foreign hacker who did not appear to realize they had penetrated a law enforcement server. The hacker expressed disgust at the presence of child abuse images on the device and left a message threatening to turn its owner over to the FBI, the person said.

>The source said bureau officials defused the situation by convincing the hacker that they actually were the FBI, in part by having the hacker join a video chat where they flashed their law enforcement credentials in front of a web camera.
