"Brazilian Police Arrest Notorious Hacker USDoD"

Brazil's Federal Police recently announced the arrest of a hacker whose description matches that of the notorious leaker known as USDoD.  USDoD, aka EquationCorp, has leaked significant amounts of information stolen from major organizations.  His targets include the FBI's InfraGard portal, Airbus, TransUnion, National Public Data (NPD), and CrowdStrike. In August, CrowdStrike and others independently determined that USDoD is a 33-year-old man identified as Luan B.G. and Luan G from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais.  USDoD confirmed the findings and said he would not be running away and instead try to reach some sort of deal with Brazilian authorities, offering them his cybersecurity expertise.  Brazil's Federal Police has not named the suspect they arrested but said he had hacked the FBI's InfraGard portal, Airbus, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
