ShinyHunters Suspect Detained in Jordan Helps FBI Track Down the Group
Jordan detained suspected ShinyHunters member Saif al-Din Khader, who is reportedly cooperating with the FBI.
Jordanian authorities detained Saif al-Din Khader, a suspected ShinyHunters member whom sources say is cooperating with the FBI by showing devices and communications. ShinyHunters claims it stole personal, job-related, and medical data on FBI employees; Reuters previously reviewed a leaked sample. Dutch police separately arrested 24-year-old Pepijn van der Stap of Amsterdam, identified as Umbreon, who was due in Rotterdam District Court. The group’s usual contact went silent and its leak site briefly went offline before a new site reportedly reappeared.
