Proud to celebrate and honor America’s Veterans at the @FBI’s Veterans Day Commemoration Ceremony here at Headquarters.
The FBI is home to more than 6,500 employees who are Veterans, almost 2,300 employees in the Reserve, and over 700 employees in the National Guard. The experience and elite skillsets they bring with them is a critical part of what makes this FBI the most successful law enforcement organization on earth.
Through our newly established ‘Veterans Advisory Committee,’ we are giving America’s military Veterans a larger voice at the FBI than ever in history — AND recruiting more Veterans to join our ranks than ever before — allowing these warriors to continue their mission of defending the homeland in a different capacity.
At this event we were honored to be joined by my friend and colleague Admiral Mitch Bradley — a graduate of the United States Naval Academy who became a Navy SEAL in 1992 and served more than three decades, going on to lead some of the military's most elite groups, including special operations missions around the world, helping shape our nation's counterterrorism strategy at the highest levels, and being one of the first Americans deployed into Afghanistan after 9/11.
To our Veterans at the FBI and across the country: thank you for your service to America. And special thanks to Robert Payne and our Veterans Advisory Committee for hosting the event.

Last week, I joined ADIC Cox to recognize our agents from @FBIWFO who are out on the streets working on the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force. Over 200 FBI personnel are working alongside task force partners to apprehend violent criminals, seize illegal drugs, and locate missing children here in Washington, D.C.
Thanks to our agents and our partners, we have recorded the largest year-to-year decrease in violent crime rates since FBI estimations began in 1936, including a 20% drop in the murder rate last year and 30% decrease in the last 21 months. The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has arrested approximately 19,000 suspects, engaged in nearly 3,900 narcotics interdictions, and seized about 2,250 illegal firearms.
These results showcase the strength and dedication of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force and share a promise to the American people that the FBI will continue to reduce violent crime to keep the streets of our nation’s capital safe today and every day.

ALT SAC Herrington: “As a redistributor, Mr. Su contributed to the high volumes of deadly and addictive drugs this drug trafficking organization poured into our most vulnerable communities. He directly interacted with the group leader and further endangered the public by possessing a loaded firearm to protect the proceeds of the trafficking. The FBI and our partners will continue to hold each of these conspirators, and others like them, responsible for the damage they do to our communities.”

The @FBI and our partners are seeing malicious cyber activity targeting industrial refrigeration and cold-chain monitoring systems around the world. These systems help keep food, medicine, and other products at safe temperatures and are widely used across critical infrastructure sectors.
Attackers are targeting electronic temperature and refrigeration controllers, particularly in grocery stores and cold storage facilities. In at least one recent incident, attackers targeted refrigeration components at three foreign blood service facilities.
While this attack was unsuccessful due to the proper alert mechanisms in place, security weaknesses in unpatched or internet-accessible controllers can allow attackers to change system settings, potentially causing inventory loss and equipment damage.
The FBI urges organizations using these systems to take the following steps:
➡️ Take controllers off the public internet
➡️ Put access behind a firewall
➡️ Change default passwords
➡️ Learn how vendors configure devices
➡️ Set safe temperature limits
➡️ Ensure alerts reach the right contacts
For technical details and more information on how to protect these systems, read our advisory: ic3.gov/CSA/2026/261105.pdf

Industrial refrigeration and cold-chain monitoring systems protect food, medicine, and other temperature-sensitive products, making them attractive targets for malicious cyber actors.
The FBI is seeing these systems targeted across critical infrastructure sectors globally, putting inventory and equipment at risk. Together with partners at @CISAgov, @HHSGov, @USDA, and @USDOT, we have issued a fact sheet with clear, practical steps that network defenders can take to reduce their risk and protect operations.
We urge every organization that relies on these systems to review our guidance, implement the recommended mitigations, and report any suspicious activity to the #FBI.

Benítez Alcántara is charged with nine counts of accessory after the fact for assisting the individual in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment.

CASE UPDATE: On November 1, 2026, law enforcement in Oregon, working directly with #FBI Salt Lake City and the Rich County Sheriff’s Office, safely recovered a 17-year-old teen, who was reported missing from Garden City, Utah in May 2025. She was located this afternoon in Oregon with a 39-year-old male, who was taken into custody without incident.
“Tonight, local police in Oregon brought a minor who had been missing for a year and a half to safety, acting on information provided by our FBI Salt Lake City Field Office," said FBI Director Kash Patel. "We are grateful she can return home, and we will continue working with our partners to hold those responsible accountable. To anyone using gore groups to target and exploit children: the FBI and our partners are coming for you. We are using every tool at our disposal to combat nihilistic violent extremism, bring offenders to justice and protect America’s children.”
The FBI and the Rich County Sheriff’s Office have been actively investigating this case for more than a year and pursuing every lead received from across the U.S. and in other countries. As this case is ongoing, no further information will be released at this time.

The FBI is releasing information advising the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion USD in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, on or about October 29, 2026. The FBI refers to this specific North Korean malicious cyber activity as "TraderTraitor."
The FBI, together with partners at the USSS and IRS-CI, has observed TraderTraitor actors converting stolen assets primarily into Ethereum (ETH). It is expected these assets will then be further laundered by converting them using DeFi and instant swap services as they prepare them for further laundering stages.
How You Can Help:
FBI, USSS, and IRS-CI are urging private sector entities including THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchanges, DeFi services, blockchain analytics firms, and other virtual asset service providers to block transactions with or derived from addresses TraderTraitor actors are using to launder these stolen assets.
A list of addresses associated with this activity is available here: fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/al…
