A key member of the ShinyHunters hacking group, identified as Saif al-Din Khader, was detained in Jordan and is currently cooperating with the FBI to identify his fellow hackers, according to multiple sources speaking to Reuters. Khader, who goes by the hacker nickname "Rey," was taken into custody by Jordanian authorities on Tuesday.
He is now assisting the FBI and global law enforcement in locating other members of the group by examining his electronic devices and digital communications.
