Leak Odido.nl? No ransom!
Odido, the successor to T-Mobile, or did they just change a name, had a major data leak, the biggest leak in the Dutch history, 6.2 million people their personal data are in the hand of criminals and everyone who reads them. It did not say when exactly, but I also received an email that, as a former customer al, and they told everyone who was up to two years ago (strange they saved data of ten years old) I was informed that all my data had been leaked, which would initially mean on the Dark Web if they did not pay a ransom. Of course they didn't and now the data of millions of people can be found everywhere.
@pousinha once wrote that she could not give her lessons because her sister-in-law did not want to provide her ID number, in addition to address details and the rest of the personal data, now with us it is worse. You cannot do anything if you do not provide all this information, and of course your bank account and PIN code. This means that if this data is leaked or sold, and to be honest, that's what I think this provider is more likely to do, literally everything is in the hands of the hacker. Let's say that a fake passport can be made in no time and you can also shop online with the details of the person the hacker has in mind.
Many have canceled their subscription, a subscription that I do not have, because I just have a SIM card only, but my details are still known and they can be used
What is the solution? Actually there is none, because even if I get a brand new phone number, all my personal information is still in the hands of...
These data leaks also regularly occur in the government, because they still work with an old computer and an old operating system.
the email I received makes no sense, because I am not an old customer but still a customer, so that also says something about this provider who clearly does not keep its customer base very well.
Of course I will leave this provider, which I will no longer hear from, and with me the rest of the Netherlands. for now I have removed the SIM card from my phone.
This is definitely another cover-up and there are no solutions for the customers whose data has been hacked. We can hardly all apply for a new passport, move and so on, to mislead abusers. No help is offered either, the police have only asked to stop reporting because they cannot handle the work.
I think a new email address is the first step, and then of course I have to change everything where the current email address is known, so that will be hours of work. By the way, there is no mention of it in the news, with the exception of a brief mention that a few ministers have also made their details public. And that is of course worth mentioning, because that is bad and of course the weather forecast because the Netherlands, which has the largest gas reserves in Europe, will soon be without gas.

Hacks and leaks happen far too often now. I’ve received several communications from various providers lately, and those criminals aren't the only ones who benefit—non-related scammers do, too. By knowing which major services have been compromised, they can make random calls pretending to be from those companies. Even easier for them to create the panic and fear for their scams.

And they can order items and let them deliver in a postal box! Or rob your bankaccount, make a fake ID, buy brand-new stuff...
But it wouldn't surprise me it's done on purpose. Everyone can find the info on the web and use it and since this is the case now all the other government rules can be introduced as well (digital coin, digital ID, brain chip and so on).
We are always exposed to dangers, and this is a new danger
Police asking to stop reporting? What a shame! What to do if the hackers purchase online with the Nederlands' data leakage? Hoping you won't be compelled to pay for products and services you never purchase.
Yes, they did. The police website where you can check whether you have been hacked and whether your data has been passed on is also running well behind schedule, but there are two others where you can also check. This is the biggest hack of the... century, or is it since time immemorial?
I am no longer using my SIM card; my daughter is spending all day blocking numbers that are harassing her, and my son is changing all his passwords. He received a notification that attempts had been made to hack his accounts, including from Venezuela.
It takes an enormous amount of time and money to replace everything.
The Dutch Consumers' Association is clearly not doing anything either, as I understood from an interview. In the event of mass litigation, they assume that there was intent involved. According to them, it was human error (I disagree with this if you store data for 10 years or more, which is not permitted).

I'm sorry in your country became so hard to live. Have you ever planned to move elsewhere?
Not easy with children and I moved many times, emigrated included and have a home abroad to keep my youngest two safe. But if it comes to moving one should be able to start a life, generate an income and this isn't easy for a single woman. No matter where you go, youi are always seen as the unwanted foreigner. There's a lot of envy, more than a person can cope with at times. Envy based on nothing. Hard work yes, but that's not what people see, same for dealing with a very low income.
Sadness. Unemployment and low income became a plague here and there (less than in the Scandinavian countries, I listened).
It's not always about being a plague but also about not hiring foreigners especially not if they are from Europe.
The other way round compared to Italy, France (and very probably Spain), where the trend is (at least, it was until I lived and studied in the souther Europe) to mostly hire people from northern Africa, Middle-West and India...
Ps.: it's not a racist comment: politicians simply didn't stand for unemployed French, Spanish and Italians
I'm seeing more and more specialists in these ethical hacking topics. They talk about maintaining anonymity online; there's free software to erase all traces of yourself from the internet, turning you into a digital ghost. Which, depending on your perspective, could be good or bad. What is clear, though, is that the use of cryptocurrencies as a store of value or a medium of exchange is becoming increasingly necessary.
It's time to create a new name and a new digital identity, far from the meddling hands of unscrupulous governments. We always have alternatives, ways to protect our interests.
As we evolve, the dangers surrounding us evolve too and often at a much faster pace. Protection has to be constantly renewed.
This kind of news and even the 'non-news' is a major peace vampire. Peace of mind is so expensive now.
I agree with you and the average citizen isn't that educated, fast and well informed, nor has the time to search for solutions meaning you are always one step behind.
Yeah, those scams keep evolving. We have to be constantly on alert.
I really like to hear how to do that. No matter where I go I have to show my ID. If I take a new email address I have to give my phonenumber or a former email address (because it's needed if I forget my password), alle roads in the end lead to me.
Not even the VPN is anomynous. They know where and who you are. That's life.
I think we can find a way to camouflage what we want, even our trail can disappear from the internet. There are ways to do it, and I believe that as time goes on, there will be many more solutions, but some will have a high price tag that I don't think many people are willing to pay.However, what is needed is information, and we can find it on the internet and then decide.
There will always be a new solution, at least until the next bad egg finds a way to hack it.
Well, tell me the solutions to remove the trails. No way it works here, perhaps where you stay because you have more privacy. Over here, nothing is private.

How dare they say that to the general public? Perhaps they should spend that energy telling criminals to stop committing crimes or, better yet, do a more effective job of preventing them in the first place.
I doubt they will. That Consumers Club said it's a human failure, so no process, no solution. Isn't it always the case it's a human failure?
It always is human failure. There's nothing else we can blame
