> In late September, ShinyHunters hacked the FBI recruitment website fbijobs.gov

The OPM breach was 11 years ago and apparently the incompetence still reigns.

The quality of offensive tooling has somewhat improved during that period.

Working in the IR space I’ve had a lot of opportunities to work with negotiators before. Most of them are extremely professional and worth their weight in gold for what they provide to their clients.

Ridiculous that scumbags like this are tarnishing that space.

Can you shed a light on what this process looks like? Are negotiations are alike or completely unique? What does it boil down to..?

Thanks!

The book "Never split the difference" is a great read on hostage negotiations.

Nothing is yet proven and other articles have painted this arrest as shocking.

Breaking Bad vibes here. "You don't want a ransom negociator, you want a ransom negociator!"
