The "Sedition Hunters" community gave Barnhart the nickname "CatSweat" because he is alleged to have worn a Caterpillar brand sweatshirt to the Capitol on January 6.The FBI had been referring to the suspect, who was wanted for assaulting officers, as Capitol suspect 128-AFO. According to HuffPost, the outlet identified Barnhart months ago thanks to the work of "citizen sleuths," but refrained from publishing his name because of his violent history, which includes rioting charges from his teenage years.In April, <a href="https://twitter.com/capitolhunters/status/1427669743620743176">Sedition Hunters discovered video</a> of Barnhart at the Trump rally preceding the Capitol attack that showed him without sunglasses, giving sleuths the opportunity to search publicly available facial recognition materials on the internet. The search yielded multiple images of Barnhart, including photos of him on bodybuilding websites and photography portfolios, according to HuffPost.Sedition Hunters even uncovered photos of a shirtless Barnhart posing on the cover of multiple romance novels, with names like "Stepbrother UnSEALed: A Bad Boy Military Romance."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">-capitolhunters (@capitolhunters) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1427648810386432002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 17, 2021</a></blockquote>But it was Barnhart's Instagram that ultimately led to his arrest. According to HuffPost, Barnhart posted a photo of himself in July 2019 in which he was wearing the same American flag that he would be photographed in at the Capitol on January 6. An August 2020 video on his account featured a similar Caterpillar-branded sweatshirt as well. Prosecutors allege that Barnhart was part of a multi-person attack against police officers outside a tunnel on the western side of the Capitol. Barnhart on Tuesday was added to a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/case-multi-defendant/file/1425176/download">22-count indictment</a> that names seven people accused of being involved in the attack on a DC Metropolitan officer.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">-capitolhunters (@capitolhunters) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1427678670563549184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 17, 2021</a></blockquote>Barnhart did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Ronald Colton McAbee, 27, of Unionville, Tennessee, was also arrested on Tuesday in connection to the <keyword id="6359886" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="assault">assault</keyword>, and was charged with inflicting bodily injury. Both men made initial court appearances in their respective home states on Tuesday morning, according to the Department of Justice.In addition to Barnhart and McAbee, Jeffrey Sabol, Peter Francis Stager, Michael John Lopatic Sr., Clayton Ray Mullins, and Jack Wade Whitton, who were already been arrested, are also named in the indictment. Prosecutors say Whitton and Sabol dragged the officer down the stairs and into the crowd, where Stager beat him with an American flag pole.

Last month, UK security researcher Jack Whitton found a way to hack into other users' Facebook accounts without their knowledge, simply by sending a text message to Facebook, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23097404">Dave Lee of BBC News reported Friday</a>. 
The flaw, which Facebook has fixed, was in a Facebook service that lets users link their mobile phones with their accounts. This lets them log into Facebook using their phone number instead of their email address, and send profile updates via text message. 
To activate this feature, a user sends a text message to Facebook, which texts back an authorization code. This code is what ties the user's device to their account. 
But Whitton found that Facebook's authorization code could be tweaked to work with other users accounts as well. This means a hacker could just change the password and gain complete control over the account, <a href="http://blog.fin1te.net/post/53949849983/hijacking-a-facebook-account-with-sms">Whitton explained in a blog post</a>. 
We've reached out to Facebook for comment and will update if we hear back. 
Graham Cluely, an independent security analyst, says the bug could have had a widespread impact on Facebook users. 
"This should – obviously – have been impossible, but due to a weakness in Facebook’s tangled nest of millions and millions of lines in code, potentially hundreds of millions of accounts were vulnerable to hijacking through the simple technique," Cluely <a href="http://grahamcluley.com/2013/06/hack-facebook-sms/">said in a Friday blog post</a>. 
Whitton informed Facebook about the flaw May 23, and Facebook fixed it five days later. Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/thanks">gave Whitton a shout-out</a> on its list of "white hats," the term for researchers who find <keyword id="607790" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="bugs">bugs</keyword> and inform vendors instead of using them for financial gain. 
Facebook has been dealing with other major security issues lately.
Earlier this month, Facebook acknowledged a bug that caused it to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-bug-shared-contact-info-2013-6#ixzz2Xjr5nVTY">accidentally share contact information</a> for about 6 million users. And in February, developer Nir Goldshlager <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-flaw-2013-2?op=1#ixzz2Xjsaz7Ie">found a flaw in Facebook's code</a> that made it possible to hijack Facebook accounts.
