First: I don't agree with some of what BrianKrebs (npub1vc3…axsh) wrote, but that's for another time. Second: With van der Stap, the hacking was never for a shopping spree. He seldom spent any money he made extorting. He'd occasionally spend some on servers. He was just obsessed with databases, especially private ones. And he still was after he got out of prison, based on chats I had with him.
I don't know if there's any evidence linking him to the Odido hack, but four people say that the audio clip the Dutch police released is not van der Stap's voice.
As to ShinyHunters' statement claiming he is not a member, well, criminals lie all the time, right? I do predict we'll hear about evidence linking them, if not as a "full member," then as someone associated with them.
Bottom line: I think he's in serious trouble because he violated probation and allegedly engaged in cybercrime again, but let's hear what they claim he actually did.
