Your Car Is Doxxing You, Fake iPhone Duo Scams, and a $351M Crypto Heist: This Week's Security Scandals
In a few years, we’re going to get a killer docudrama about ShinyHunters, the hacking group that’s been responsible for breaches at companies like ADT, Canvas, and Vimeo, as well as most recently, the FBI. The drama continued this week, when the FBI fired back at ShinyHunters, claiming to have had a hand in the arrest of a member of the group in the Netherlands. That said, statements from ShinyHunters remain defiant, and since the arrest of an alleged member took place in the Netherlands, it’s unclear what, if anything, the FBI had to do with it.
