Dutch ShinyHunters Suspect Investigated for Trying to Arrange 2 Murders

Dutch authorities arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with a broader investigation into the ShinyHunters cybercriminal group; investigators found material on his laptop suggesting he attempted to arrange two murders, a separate criminal matter from the Odido data breach. The FBI described him as an alleged ShinyHunters leader while Dutch police said he played "a role" in the group; ShinyHunters has denied the association. The report notes his prior 2023 conviction for hacking and extortion and that his former employer commissioned a forensic review with no evidence of compromise reported at the time.
