A staggering 500 terabytes of FBI data – including data that pertained to the agency’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein – appears to have been compromised in 2023 in a “cyber intrusion,” according to a newly unearthed file released by the Justice Department last month.

The file in question appears to be a sworn statement issued in 2024 by FBI Special Agent Aaron Spivack, who in a report documented what he described as a “potential hack” into the FBI’s office in New York.

“We noticed strange IP activity that took place yesterday from two IP addresses,” Spivack wrote in the sworn statement. “The activity included combing through certain files pertaining to the Epstein investigation.”

Later in the 64-page report, Spivack wrote that “500 terabytes of data” had been lost as a result of the cyber intrusion. His agency did manage to recover “about 400 terabytes of that data," however, ultimately resulting in 100 terabytes of data being lost.
