The notorious cybercriminal group has claimed responsibility for a massive data breach<\/a> targeting the Dutch telecommunications company Odido and its brand BEN.<\/p>\n

The group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen 21 million records from 8 million customers, suggesting the incident is far more severe than previously disclosed. The data exposed in this alleged breach is highly sensitive.<\/p>\n

Sensitive Data Allegedly Exposed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the claims, the compromised information includes plaintext passwords, a critical security failure that has sparked significant outrage online<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the stolen data reportedly contains the following:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Exposed Data Type<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Passport numbers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Driver\u2019s license numbers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Residential addresses<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Email addresses<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Internal corporate documents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Company source code<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

ShinyHunters explicitly stated<\/a> that Odido \u201clied about their disclosure,\u201d implying the company downplayed the severity or scope of the initial incident.<\/p>\n

This accusation has fueled public concern regarding Odido\u2019s transparency and handling of the breach.<\/p>\n

The revelation of plaintext passwords, in particular, has alarmed security experts and customers alike, as it represents a severe lapse in basic data protection practices.<\/p>\n
