[A Member of Hacker Group ShinyHunters Detained in Jordan, Cooperating with FBI to Investigate Accomplices] Reported by Golden Finance, on October 4th, three sources revealed that a core member of the hacker group 'ShinyHunters,' which claimed to have stolen data of all U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees, was detained in Jordan on Tuesday. Two of the sources stated that he is cooperating with the FBI to identify his fellow hackers. The detention of this member, Kadel, marks the latest development in the 'ShinyHunters' case. Experts believe that this prolific cyber extortion group has long targeted major global enterprises, primarily consisting of young hackers who are native English speakers and specialize in data theft and extortion. Media analysis of the data samples shared by ShinyHunters revealed that the data includes a large amount of personal identity information of FBI employees, sensitive job-related details, as well as mental health and medical information. Kadel's cooperation with investigators may be crucial in mitigating or at least understanding the damage caused by this incident. He is providing investigators with detailed access to his electronic devices and digital communication records to assist the FBI in identifying his accomplices.
