U.S. officials report that Jordanian authorities detained Saif al-Din Khader this week, suspected of being part of ShinyHunters, a hacking group responsible for defacing the FBI's website last month. The arrested individual is cooperating with investigators, according to sources. Earlier, Dutch police had reported arresting a 24-year-old from Amsterdam named Pepijn van der Stap in connection with the same hacking group, though ShinyHunters denied any association and criticized Dutch authorities.

Story summary
Saif al-Din Khader, a suspected member of the ShinyHunters hacking group, was detained in Jordan this week. ShinyHunters claims to have stolen data on every FBI employee, including extensive personally identifiable information and sensitive job role details, amounting to 2 to 3 terabytes of data. Khader is cooperating with the FBI to identify other hackers involved in the theft; however, Reuters could not determine the exact circumstances of his detention or his current location. The FBI declined to comment on specific arrests but stated that they are aggressively investigating the incident and have already arrested multiple suspects involved with ShinyHunters.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
