Patrick Gray and James Wilson discuss a report by Brian Krebs alleging that an American ransom negotiator named Edward Dubrovsky is suspected by the FBI of involvement in running the Shiny Hunters leak site. Dutch police apprehended a co-conspirator using a flashbang to prevent device locking.
“The FBI suspects a ransom negotiator who works for a prestigious American firm may have actually been involved in running Shiny Hunter's leak site.”
“They flashbanged that guy they arrested, Pepin van der Staap, in the Netherlands. And he was the one, I guess, was chatting with Dubrovsky or whatever.”
