Yes, I reported on it here:
Developing: Brazilian hacker known as “USDoD” arrested by federal police

I had just heard from him this morning, probably within an hour or so of the time he was arrested. He had no idea this was coming. None. He did not think that the Brazilian federal police had any charges against him at all from what his lawyer had been told after he was doxed.
I would point out that in August, when he was doxed, he said that he was retiring and getting out. If he was still working for kmeta[.]vc as of this morning, he hadn't gotten out.

Breaking News: The threat actor known as "USDoD" (aka "EquationCorp" and other monikers") has been arrested by Brazilian Federal Police. USDoD is probably best known for his attacks on #InfraGard, Airbus, and his role in the recent National Public Data breach.
Media coverage indicates he was arrested this morning: https://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2024/10/16/pf-prende-hacker-de-33-anos-suspeito-de-invadir-sistemas-e-vazar-dados-de-policiais.ghtml

Update: a bit more info here: Developing: Brazilian hacker known as “USDoD” arrested by federal police: https://databreaches.net/?p=117212
The threat actor known as #USDoD aka #NatSec and #EquationCorp has been doxxed as a Brazilian man. A lot of the attribution is based on investigating by #CrowdStrike, as reported by #TecMundo, but USDoD has acknowledged it is as accurate in an exclusive statement he gave to #HackRead.
USDoD is probably best known for his attack on InfraGard and more recently, his attempt to sell 2.9 billion records from National Public Data.
Having looked at pictures posted online and based on my interview with USDoD last year and subsequent chats, yes, that is the threat actor known as USDoD and yes, he lives in Brazil.
As of today, he has not been arrested by Brazilian federal authorities but via his statement to HackRead, he wants them to know he is coming to them and is not a threat to his country, who he claims he can help.
