On April 1, 2026, the FBI classified a breach of its Digital Collection System Network, the internal platform managing surveillance operations under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), as a 'major incident' — the most serious cybersecurity designation available under federal law. It is the first time the bureau has made that determination about its own systems since at least 2020.
