Dutch National Police have identified strong evidence that Dutch hackers were responsible for a February breach at telecommunications provider Odido. The investigation marks a significant development in the case.

The Dutch National Police (Politie) announced findings linking domestic threat actors to the security incident at Odido, one of the Netherlands' major telecom operators. The February breach exposed customer data and prompted an investigation by law enforcement. Police statements indicate multiple indicators point to Dutch-based hackers as the perpetrators, though the investigation remains ongoing. Odido has not yet released detailed statements regarding the scope of the breach or the number of affected customers. The company operates as a major provider in the Dutch telecommunications market. The identification of domestic actors suggests the breach may not be part of a broader international cyber campaign. Dutch authorities continue gathering evidence and have not announced arrests or charges related to the incident. This disclosure highlights ongoing security challenges facing major telecom providers across Europe and underscores law enforcement focus on domestic cyber threats.
