A third member of the ShinyHunters cybercrime group has been arrested. The FBI continues its hunt for a hackers from this group. Apparently, the FBI is furious after the hack of the FBIJobs.gov personnel portal. As a result of this hack, hackers were able to steal a huge database of personal data of agency employees. FBI Director Cash Patel has already officially confirmed the arrest of the third hacker. 

However, the name of the new detainee and the details of the charges against him have not yet been released. According to information available to journalists, the detainee is a Canadian citizen. It is also known that he was arrested in Pennsylvania. One source claims that the suspect was directly involved in the hack of FBIJobs.gov. FBI Director Patel himself worded his statement cautiously, saying that the detainee is an alleged accomplice of the group the FBI believes is responsible for the recent intrusion into the FBI system. Once again, it is worth noting that the ShinyHunters group has a long history of stealing corporate data and committing extortion. A month ago, a group sensationally announced that it had penetrated the FBI's personnel portal systems and stolen a massive amount of information about FBI employees and applicants. Journalists and specialists examined some of the materials the hackers had made publicly available. These materials included personal information about FBI employees, their positions, addresses, and medical and psychiatric diagnoses. The extent of the stolen information has not yet been independently confirmed. The FBI maintains that the main reason for this unauthorized access was a simpler issue than some unknown vulnerability. According to the agency, the contractor simply failed to install an already released security update for the platform the third-party organization was maintaining. An investigation revealed that after the incident, the FBI suspended the contractor and patched the identified vulnerability. Sources identify the vulnerable system as Oracle PeopleSoft. However, the agency has not yet publicly disclosed the name of the platform. This arrest marks the third such incident, following the FBIJobs.gov hack. A month ago, Dutch police, at the request of the FBI, arrested 24-year-old Amsterdam resident Pepijn van der Stap, whom the FBI considers one of the alleged leaders of ShinyHunters. The cybercriminal group itself categorically denies his involvement. A few days ago, Jordanian authorities, also working with the FBI, arrested Saif al-Din Khader, who goes by the pseudonym "Rey." Sources claim that Khader is already cooperating with the FBI. As part of this collaboration, he is reportedly already providing access to the group's devices and correspondence, and is helping investigators identify other ShinyHunters members. The FBI has not yet said whether the information Khader provided has helped them identify a new suspect. Since the beginning of last year, ShinyHunters has attacked more than 140 organizations, resulting in at least $70 million in losses. The FBI director promises that more ShinyHunters members will be arrested soon. Apparently, the FBI was actually very angry.
