Hackers threaten to leak 8 million people’s stolen data if Dutch telecom Odido won’t pay ransom

A report details that the cybercriminal group ShinyHunters breached Dutch telecom Odido, exfiltrated customer data, and is extorting the company with threats to publish the stolen information. Odido reports 6.2 million customers affected while the attackers claim 8 million and 21 million data lines; the breach was discovered the weekend of Feb 7–8 and disclosed on Feb 12. The group issued a “final warning” on the dark web and hinted at further unspecified digital disruptions beyond data leakage, while the telecom appears unlikely to pay.
