  • ShinyHunters leaked the full Odido dataset, exposing personal data of millions of unsuspecting customers.
  • Odido, a Dutch telecommunications company, was breached, compromising sensitive information from over 6.2 million accounts.
  • The breach included names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, bank account details, and passport or ID numbers.
  • ShinyHunters released additional dumps, exposing an additional 4.6 million unique email addresses, bringing the total to 10.8 million compromised data points.
  • The leaked dataset includes a range of personal information, including bank account numbers, driver's licenses, and government-issued IDs.
  • The breach raises concerns about Odido's security measures and highlights the importance of cybersecurity awareness.



  • The world of cybersecurity has witnessed its fair share of high-profile breaches and data leaks over the years, but none have been as monumental as the recent Odido dataset leak. ShinyHunters, a notorious cybercrime group, has taken the internet by storm by leaking the full Odido dataset, exposing the personal data of millions of unsuspecting customers.

    Odido, a Dutch telecommunications company, is one of the largest mobile network operators in the Netherlands, serving over 8 million mobile subscribers and approximately 1 million fixed broadband customers nationwide. The company provides a range of services under multiple brands, including Odido, Ben, and Simpel. However, on February 15th, 2026, ShinyHunters launched a devastating cyberattack on Odido's customer contact system, compromising personal data from over 6.2 million accounts.

    At the time of the breach, Odido confirmed that the attackers had gained access to sensitive information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, bank account details, dates of birth, and passport or ID numbers. The company immediately initiated an incident response plan, engaging external cybersecurity experts to assist with implementing additional security measures.

    However, what followed was nothing short of catastrophic. ShinyHunters released a series of subsequent dumps, exposing not only the initial 6.2 million accounts but also an additional 4.6 million unique email addresses. This brought the total number of compromised data points to a staggering 10.8 million, making it one of the largest data breaches in Dutch history.

    The leaked dataset includes a wide range of personal information, including:

    * Bank account numbers
    * Customer service comments
    * Dates of birth
    * Driver’s licenses
    * Email addresses
    * Genders
    * Government-issued IDs
    * Names
    * Passport numbers
    * Phone numbers
    * Physical addresses

    This is not only a breach of customer trust but also raises serious concerns about the security measures in place at Odido. The company's response to the initial breach, while commendable, appears inadequate given the severity of the situation.

    The Odido dataset leak serves as a stark reminder of the importance of cybersecurity awareness and the need for organizations to prioritize data protection. As we move forward, it is essential that companies like Odido take proactive measures to prevent similar breaches in the future.

    In a statement on their Tor data leak site, ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the breach, stating: "This is your fault, Odido. You are the reason why an entire country is about to suffer for an unestimated amount of years. Unprecedented."

    While it is unclear whether this threat holds any merit, one thing is certain – the Odido dataset leak will have far-reaching consequences for both the company and its customers.
