Summary
Dutch police dropped a bombshell Monday by airing a voice clip of the hacker behind the massive Odido data breach—potentially exposing 6.2 million citizens’ info. The suspect, who speaks fluent Dutch with distinctive vocal quirks and even tossed in some English IT slang, tricked an Odido employee into handing over login credentials while posing as customer service. Despite a July plea for surrender, the hacker stayed silent—until now. The hacker group ShinyHunters confirmed the voice belongs to one of their own, then threw shade at Dutch authorities calling them “incompetent and a joke,” while also hiring a defense lawyer and pledging full support for their crew member. Police remain tight-lipped, insisting the investigation is ongoing and urging anyone who recognizes the voice to come forward. The breach led to a million-euro ransom demand that Odido refused, leaving victims vulnerable to phishing attacks—and the hackers are showing no signs of backing down.
