ShinyHunters Suspect (24) May Have Also Ordered Murders
Dutch police have arrested 24-year-old Pepijn van der S. in connection with the ShinyHunters hacking group and suspect him of attempting to solicit two murders abroad. Evidence found on his laptop indicates he may have issued orders for these killings, a charge separate from the cybercrime investigation. Van der S., previously convicted in 2023 for extortion and hacking, was detained on September 15. While not directly linked to the Odido hack, he is suspected of playing a role within the organization responsible for breaches at Pornhub, Salesforce, and Ticketmaster. Police are currently analyzing seized data, which could lead to further arrests.
