That FBI hack may prove to be a game-changer. The FBI is going to be thinking about what ShinyHunters does with all that juicy personal information. This may force the FBI from playing offense to defense.
If you recall, the whole investigation into Richard Nixon's illegal domestic spying began with a single night raid on a single FBI office by activists. The take from that turned over a rock, and the evidence that crawled out from beneath it was enough to among other things kill the FBI's investigation of the Weather Underground. Most Federal investigations of any kind of anti-Vietnam War activity turned out to be enmeshed in the illegal surveillance, protecting a hell of a lot of people from prison.
Then came the Church Committee and a lot of other unpleasant memories for the FBI...
