According to Krebs on Security, Dutch authorities have detained a 23‑year‑old individual who was previously convicted as a cybercriminal on suspicion of assisting the hacker group ShinyHunters with data thefts and extortions. The arrest occurred in the Netherlands.
In the days immediately after the suspect’s detention, remaining members of ShinyHunters increased their activity, launching attacks that resulted in the theft of highly sensitive data from the FBI and extortion targeting the Russian ransomware group Cl0p.
