A 24-year-old Dutch cybercriminal, Pepijn van der Stap, was arrested in the Netherlands on September 16 on suspicion of aiding the ShinyHunters hacking collective. Previously convicted under the moniker “Umbreon” for data theft and extortion, he received a four-year suspended sentence before being released in December 2025. Six days after his arrest, ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for hacking and stealing the data of 5,000 FBI agents. The group, now led by a teenager based in Amman, Jordan, nicknamed “Rey,” was also linked to the hacking of Dutch telecommunications provider Odido, whose data of six million customers was leaked.
