Dutch police arrest 24-year-old Amsterdam man in ShinyHunters investigation

Dutch police have confirmed the arrest of a 24-year-old Amsterdam man in an investigation into the cybercrime group ShinyHunters, with a court appearance scheduled Tuesday in Rotterdam. Authorities have not said what conduct the suspect is accused of or linked him publicly to any specific attack. The arrest has renewed attention on the February breach at Dutch telecom company Odido, which ShinyHunters claimed and which affected 6.2 million customers, though police have not said the suspect was involved. SecurityWeek identified the man as Pepijn van der Stap and reported that he had been convicted in 2023 for hacking, data theft and extortion and was working as an offensive security lead.
