  "account": "The FBI arrested an individual suspected of involvement in ShinyHunters, the cybercriminal group behind a recent hack of the bureau's job website, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. This marks a series of arrests in a short period as the FBI continues its efforts to dismantle the group and protect Americans from cybercrime. The arrested individual, believed to be a Canadian citizen, was detained in Pennsylvania. The hack, which occurred in September, is said to be one of the most significant breaches of a federal government system since 2015. ShinyHunters claimed responsibility, stating they stole 2 to 3 terabytes of data from FBI workers. The FBI removed the contractor responsible for the breach, who was found to have failed to implement a critical security patch.",
  "summary": "The FBI this week arrested another individual suspected of being connected to ShinyHunters, the cybercriminal group that hacked the bureau's job website, FBI Director Kash Patel said.",
