<![CDATA[FBI Arrests Another ShinyHunters Suspect Reportedly Involved in Its Jobs Portal Hack]]>The FBI has made another arrest in connection with the ShinyHunters extortion group, according to a statement from FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X on October 9. The suspect is described as an alleged co-conspirator, though the FBI has not released their name and no charges have been made public at this time.

Key points:

  • The arrest was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel on October 9.
