Reuters quoted three informed sources as saying on Saturday that the Jordanian authorities arrested one of the main members of the “Shiney Hunters” hacking group last week after its bold hacking of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shocked the agency.

Two of the sources stated that he is cooperating with investigators to uncover the identity of his hacker partners.

The FBI declined to comment on any specific arrests or activity outside the United States, but said it "continues an intensive investigation into the latest cyberattack involving the Shiny Hunters group, having already cooperated with partners to arrest a number of suspects, and we will spare no effort in bringing every individual responsible for this to justice."
