  "account": "FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Friday that the bureau has arrested an individual linked to the ShinyHunters hacking group, according to a post on X/Twitter. Patel indicated that the arrested person is believed to have been involved in the recent breach at the FBI jobs website, which exposed sensitive employee information. The FBI did not provide further details on the arrest and did not immediately respond to requests for additional information. This is the third publicly announced arrest since the breach was disclosed in late September. Earlier, Dutch authorities announced the arrest of Pepijn van der Stap, who had previously served time for data theft, and Reuters reported the arrest of Saif al-Din Khader, a teenager from Jordan who was accused of being a key member of ShinyHunters. Patel stated that his agency would continue to collaborate with partners to dismantle the remaining elements of the ShinyHunters group and its associates, regardless of their location.",
