ShinyHunters, a prolific cybercriminal group known for large-scale data theft and extortion, says it has breached the FBI and stolen data on thousands of agents and applicants.
In the same week the head of the FBI went on national TV to claim credit for increasing the bureau's use of AI by 605%, whatever that's supposed to mean.

It means when the FBI builds a case against you make sure your lawyer hires a competent forensic expert. I've seen and heard "expert" testimonies in some court cases that make me angry. There's people using tools that digitally "enhance" small images, and that gets presented as evidence in court. It bewilders me how adding pixels to an image is evidence.
Wow, that is bold. I wonder if they'll get away with it because incompetent leadership has decimated the US's capabilities? This certainly doesn't bode well for the US's odds against its nation-state rivals.
Is their name a reference to pokemon? Or to the meme that the FBI/CIA glows through the screen?
They've been on an streak for over 6 years now, check out their wikipedia page.
You're thinking of "glowie", "shiny" is def a Pokémon thing.
also an mmo thing - hunting for collectibles in game
“Glowie” is a white supremacist slur for “Jew” or “fed” (they think the Feds are “a bunch of Jews”.)

They say glowie because they see Jews are n*s who are white. They “glow” (they’re not dark.)

It’s crazy hearing main stream mention this slur slang without awareness of its root or meaning.

I think you have the etymology wrong, although there was (schizophrenic) racism involved in the coining of the term. The "glow" part doesn't come from the fact that they're white (or not dark), it comes from Terry Davis saying that "CIA n*'s glow in the dark" (i.e. are obviously spotted and can't hide their identities).
You think Terry David coined this term?

There may be more than one path of truth here.

Like “ helter skelter”.

To white supremacists that means “to rape and murder the innocent and lawful and dance in the streets in victory, there is nothing you can do about it!” And I’m sure a dozen of you will argue that it’s a beatnik prose for a fun time.

The world! Including the parts we ignore or pretend to do without.

Canonically, yes, he coined the term. If you know of an earlier coinage I'd be interested to hear it.
It would've taken you a 30 second google search to have checked yourself and see this is wildly incorrect before posting this.

The term itself has nothing to do with jews, but its a fun self-report you think jews are disproportionately federal agents, the group constantly mired in human rights controversies towards minorities and abnormal pedophiliac island connections as of late.

Horseshoe theory, I suppose :)

Some of us need slang dictionaries from “the street” and some of us have been in the presence of white hate telling this low down.

Don’t karma neg me because I tell you something you don’t want to hear. This stuff is a reality.

That does not change the fact that it still has nothing to do with jews.

You are simply incorrect, there's no two ways about it.

I referred to the article on urban dictionary as it's the 'only' real source for slang definitions on the internet. Obviously I knew about the term from before then, it originated from Terry Davis who's not exactly unknown on the internet.

If you'd prefer to see it used in the wild, feel free to browse the unfiltered sewage pipe that is 4chan or xitter and you'll see that yet again, the specific term "glowies" has nothing to do with jews. Maybe some people that use the term are antisemetic, but that does not change its definition.

Also, I wasn't the one that downvoted your comment.

You are over confident in your sources. There are things polite and agreeable to write, and there are things which will not be remembered openly in this way.

I can accept there are many truths, some settle over the other.

The White Devil boogieman is real, and celebrating modern cultural victories, feeding upon our self lies. This is one of their tells.

From the link you posted:

> Glower Share definition Flag

> Glower is a slang for a Federal Agent, usually used for one in disguise over the internet.

> The slang comes from a racist rant by the coder of TempleOS Terry A. Davis. "The CIA n*gg*rs glow in the dark, you can see them when you are driving. You just gotta run 'em over with your car."

Seems possible to me that somebody might use the terms interchangeably but I’m no expert on slurs. Lol at “horseshoe theory is when somebody has heard a slur”

No it's not, it was just a nonsensical rant from Terry Davis that caught on. It was never very funny and felt like a forced meme at the time
