ShinyHunters hacker reportedly detained in Jordan, aiding FBI
A suspected ShinyHunters hacking group member known online as "Rey" has reportedly been detained in Jordan and is cooperating with the FBI to help locate other members of the extortion group. [...]
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the reported detention in Jordan and the claim that the suspect is cooperating with the FBI, with BleepingComputer saying the person is a suspected ShinyHunters member known as “Rey.” CBS News adds a separate line about ShinyHunters’ claim, without public verification, that it obtained data on every FBI employee. Neither extract adds much beyond that core report, but CBS is the only one to include the FBI-data claim.
