El FBI arresta a ejecutivo canadiense de ciberseguridad en Pensilvania por hackeo de ShinyHunters

El FBI detuvo al ejecutivo canadiense de ciberseguridad Edward Dubrovsky en Pensilvania bajo cargos de conspiración para extorsionar e interferir con el comercio, como parte de su investigación del grupo de hackers ShinyHunters. Anteriormente, la agencia había despedido a un contratista de Accenture después de que la falta de aplicación de un parche de seguridad permitiera a ShinyHunters robar datos personales de empleados a través del sitio de empleo del FBI. Una revisión interna del FBI determinó que la omisión del parche fue la causa del ataque, lo que impulsó la investigación que culminó en el arresto de Dubrovsky.
