Breaking, new, by me:

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday arrested the co-founder of 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:

"Dubrovsky’s LinkedIn profile states he is the author of Cyber Extortion Strategic Response, a 252-page book that promises to “take readers beyond the ransom note and into the decisions that determine how an organization responds, recovers, and protects what matters.”

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.

New, by me: ShinyHunters Extorted Boeing Spin-off Prior to Arrests

A teenager from Amman, Jordan suspected of leading the prolific data theft and extortion group ShinyHunters has been detained and is reportedly cooperating with the FBI to identify other members of the hacking gang. KrebsOnSecurity has learned that the suspect, who uses the hacker handle “Rey,” was detained as ShinyHunters was in the process of extorting a business unit recently divested by the global aerospace company Boeing, which manufactures the fleet of planes used by the employer of Rey’s father — Royal Jordanian Airlines.
