FBI arrest of suspected ShinyHunters member tied to jobs site hack signals cybercrime enforcement.

What happened: The FBI arrested a suspected ShinyHunters member tied to the hack of its jobs website, Director Kash Patel said Friday. Sources said the suspect, a Canadian citizen, was detained in Pennsylvania. Key numbers: FBI jobs site hacked in September; hackers claimed 2 to 3 terabytes of data; 2015 OPM breach stole over 22 million records; suspect Pepijn van der Stap, 24, arrested Sept. Why it matters: Patel said the arrest shows the FBI's effort to dismantle the group, and other suspected co-conspirators remain at large. The FBI removed a contractor over a missing security patch.
