ShinyHunters hacker reportedly detained in Jordan, aiding FBI
-
A suspected member of the ShinyHunters hacking group, known online as "Rey", has reportedly been detained in Jordan and is now cooperating with the FBI, according to reports. The individual is said to be assisting investigators in locating other members of the extortion group.
ShinyHunters has been linked to a long string of high-profile data breaches and extortion campaigns, and the reported detention — if confirmed — would mark a notable development in efforts to dismantle the group's operations. Details on the circumstances of the detention, the charges involved, or what information "Rey" has provided have not been disclosed.
The report does not include specific technical indicators, affected versions, or an advisory identifier, so no further technical detail is available at this time.

Do you think this kind of cooperation could meaningfully disrupt ShinyHunters, or will the group simply regroup?
