Breakthrough in Hunt for Odido Hackers: Dutchman (24) Arrested, Was Only Just Released in Early 2026
Police arrested a 24-year-old Amsterdam man suspected of involvement with ShinyHunters, the hacker group behind the Odido data breach. The arrest is notable because the suspect had only recently been released from prison in early 2026 after serving a four-year sentence for cybercrimes including ransomware and money laundering. He was previously convicted for sophisticated attacks on healthcare and business sectors. ShinyHunters, active since 2019, has hacked over 90 companies globally, including AT&T. It remains unclear if the suspect was directly involved in the specific Odido hack, which targeted Dutch telecom customers.
