Dutch cops back Odido as ShinyHunters leaks continue
"ShinyHunters leaked 1 million Odido records for the second day in a row. According to Have I Been Pwned, which is ingesting the data from each day's leaks, the first million contained 317,000 unique email addresses, while the second round consisted of 371,000. Details associated with those accounts include bank account numbers, other basic personal information, passport numbers, driving licenses, and customer service comments."
"Our advice to ransomware victims is: don't pay if criminals demand a ransom. After all, if they are paid, their business model remains viable. The ultimate decision is up to the victim, but you can't assume your data is safe if you pay."
"ShinyHunters' website indicates that it is once again gearing up for a third round of leaks on February 28. If this round is of a similar scale, it would push the total number of affected accounts past 1 million. After the third round, the cybercrime group promised to begin leaking 2 million records a day."
ShinyHunters leaked 1 million Odido customer records on consecutive days, containing 317,000 and 371,000 unique email addresses respectively. Leaked data includes bank account numbers, passport numbers, driving licenses, and personal information. The group plans a third leak on February 28 and promises to leak 2 million records daily afterward, claiming 21 million total stolen records. Odido confirmed 6.2 million customers affected and refuses to pay the demanded ransom. Netherlands' national police support this decision, advising organizations against ransom payments as they perpetuate criminal business models and provide no guarantee of data safety.
