Evidence found on the suspect's laptop reportedly included details of two planned murders abroad, and he faces at least 90 more days of pre-trial detention. The FBI says ShinyHunters and associates have breached over 140 organizations since last year, extorting at least $70 million, often through corporate SSO accounts and SaaS platforms like Salesforce and Snowflake. The warning follows ShinyHunters' claim of breaching the FBI itself via an Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day, exposing records tied to the Bureau's Remote Operations Unit. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

ShinyHunters and its alleged co-conspirators have collected at least $70 million in extortion payments after breaching more than 140 organizations since last year. The group commonly targets corporate SSO accounts, third-party vendors, and cloud-based SaaS platforms such as Salesforce and Snowflake to steal data before threatening to publish it. _Security teams tracking extortion group tactics can follow ShinyHunters developments on daily.dev._ ### Did ShinyHunters actually breach the FBI? ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for stealing two to three terabytes of data from FBI systems by exploiting an Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day. The group provided a sample of about 5,000 FBI personnel records to media outlets, and reporting found the leak exposed names and personal data of members of the FBI's Remote Operations Unit, including staff tied to China and Russia investigations. _Anyone monitoring high-profile breach claims can track how they unfold on daily.dev._ ### Was anyone arrested for the ShinyHunters hacking group? Dutch police arrested a 24-year-old man from Amsterdam on September 15, describing him as an alleged leader of ShinyHunters and suspected of participating in a criminal organization. Evidence on his laptop reportedly included details about two murders planned abroad, and a Rotterdam court ordered at least 90 more days of pre-trial detention while further arrests remain possible. _Those following cybercrime enforcement actions can keep up with arrests like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [FBI to ShinyHunters: 'We know how to find you'](https://daily.dev/posts/fbi-to-shinyhunters-we-know-how-to-find-you--xaitvghvq) · The Register · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#salesforce](https://daily.dev/tags/salesforce) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/fbi-tells-shinyhunters-members-to-turn-themselves-in-after-recent-arrest-nxrb4ephi) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"FBI tells ShinyHunters members to turn themselves in after recent arrest","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/fbi-tells-shinyhunters-members-to-turn-themselves-in-after-recent-arrest-nxrb4ephi","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fbi-tells-shinyhunters-members-to-turn-themselves-in-after-recent-arrest-nxrb4ephi"},"datePublished":"2026-09-29T20:10:58.252Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T17:53:31.463Z","description":"The FBI publicly urged remaining ShinyHunters members to turn themselves in after Dutch police arrested a 24-year-old Amsterdam man described as one of the...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0534357acc636cc70413400a02e65368?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0534357acc636cc70413400a02e65368?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"BleepingComputer","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"BleepingComputer","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--as8nJ3qy--/f_auto,q_auto/v1774959951/logos/bleepingcomputer?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/bleepingcomputer"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/fbi-tells-shinyhunters-members-to-turn-themselves-in-after-recent-arrest-nxrb4ephi","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"salesforce","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"BleepingComputer","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/bleepingcomputer"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"FBI tells ShinyHunters members to turn themselves in after recent arrest"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fbi-tells-shinyhunters-members-to-turn-themselves-in-after-recent-arrest-nxrb4ephi#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much money has the ShinyHunters extortion group made from data breaches?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"ShinyHunters and its alleged co-conspirators have collected at least $70 million in extortion payments after breaching more than 140 organizations since last year.
