The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is reportedly investigating malicious cyber activity on the agency’s network.

The federal law enforcement agency says it already contained the "isolated incident" and is working to uncover its scope and overall impact.

"The FBI is aware of the incident and is working to gain additional information," the U.S. domestic intelligence and security service told BleepingComputer.

"This is an isolated incident that has been contained. As this is an ongoing investigation the FBI does not have further comment to provide at this time."

CNN first reported on Friday that this was a hacking incident involving an FBI New York Field Office computer system used to investigate child sexual exploitation.
