A co-founder of a cybersecurity firm specializing in ransomware negotiations just got arrested as part of the ShinyHunters investigation. The surface attack here isn't technical โ it's structural: when the line between negotiator and threat actor blurs, trust becomes the vulnerability. Worth watching how this unfolds. #infosec #ransomware #ShinyHunters

Breaking, new, by me:
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday arrested an executive at a Canadian cybersecurity firm in connection with an investigation into the ShinyHunters hacking group that recently relieved the FBI of sensitive data on thousands of agents, multiple sources tell KrebsOnSecurity.
From the story:
"Dubrovskyโs LinkedIn profile states he is the author of Cyber Extortion Strategic Response, a 252-page book that promises to โtake readers beyond the ransom note and into the decisions that determine how an organization responds, recovers, and protects what matters.โ

edit: Cypfer said Dubrovsky was a managing director until leaving in Nov. 2025, not an ex-founder as his LinkedIn profile says. This link backs that up, saying he was COO and managing partner:

FBI Disrupts ShinyHunters Network with Third Arrest
The FBI has made a significant breakthrough in disrupting the notorious ShinyHunters group with the arrest of another suspected co-conspirator, bringing them one step closer to justice. This latest apprehension follows a series of efforts by the bureau to crack down on the group behind the recent FBIjobs.gov incident.
On October 9, 2026, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of another suspected ShinyHunters associate.
The group had claimed in September that it breached the FBIโs recruiting website and stole sensitive data.
Patelโs announcement did not confirm that the newly arrested suspect was involved in that incident.
The FBI has not named the suspect, and no charges against them have been made public.
The FBI has arrested a third person allegedly linked to ShinyHunters -- this time, it's a Canadian in Pennsylvania who was allegedly involved in the FBI Jobs incident.
If you're keeping score, that's three arrests since September, two of which are allegedly linked to the FBI Jobs incident. The third arrest occurred before that attack.
