According to Krebs on Security, a teenager from Amman, Jordan suspected of leading the hacking group ShinyHunters was detained prior to multiple arrests related to the group. The individual, known online as “Rey,” is reportedly cooperating with the FBI to help identify other members of ShinyHunters. Krebs on Security learned that authorities made the detention while the group was actively attempting to extort a business unit that had been recently divested by Boeing, a global aerospace company that produces aircraft fleets operated by the suspect’s employer.
