Dutch police have arrested a suspected member of the ShinyHunters hacker group and accused the man of trying to arrange two murders.

The 24-year-old from Amsterdam was arrested on Sept. 15, before the group claimed to have hacked the FBI. He is “suspected of playing a role in the hacker group ShinyHunters,” Dutch police said, adding, “The man is also suspected of attempted solicitation of two murders.”
