Dutch police arrest ShinyHunters hacker accused of planning two murders

Among the sample of 5,000 or so agents who had data stolen from the portal, reporters have also found data relating to agents’ blood and urine samples, as well as psychiatric reports, which sparked fears of a major counterintelligence challenge to prevent an adversarial government from obtaining the data.

When contacted by TechCrunch, Leathermann did not comment. An FBI spokesperson declined to comment on our questions relating to the arrest.

For their part, the ShinyHunters hackers reiterated that the breach of the FBI’s servers was not a financially motivated attack, but was intended to challenge public claims made by the FBI, which the hackers say contain false allegations about the group. The hackers told TechCrunch that they will not publish the stolen FBI data, and added that the breach was “to make a point and to dispute the allegations made against us and we have done so.”
