The FBI announced the arrest of a suspected member of the ShinyHunters cybercriminal group, allegedly linked to the September hack of the bureau's jobs website. The suspect, a Canadian citizen, was reportedly detained in Pennsylvania. This arrest follows earlier actions against suspected group members in Jordan and the Netherlands. The breach, which resulted in the theft of 2-3 terabytes of employee data, has been attributed by the FBI to a contractor's failure to apply a necessary security patch to an Oracle PeopleSoft system.
