阿姆斯特丹,9月28日电——一名荷兰男子因其从网络犯罪分子转型为安全专业人员的经历被国际媒体广泛报道,现因涉嫌与黑客组织ShinyHunters有关而被捕,荷兰警方和该男子的老板周一表示。
AMSTERDAM, Sept 28 - A Dutch man whose journey from cybercriminal to reformed security professional was widely covered in the international media has been arrested as part of an investigation into the hacker group ShinyHunters, Dutch police and the man's boss said on Monday.
荷兰警方在社交媒体平台X上发布声明称,一名24岁男子因涉及该调查被捕,将于周二在鹿特丹出庭。
In a statement posted to social media site X, Dutch police said that a 24-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the inquiry and would appear in court in Rotterdam on Tuesday.
声未透露该男子姓名,但其老板、阿姆斯特丹网络安全公司Neo Security的Benjamin Korper表示,被捕者为该公司进攻性安全负责人Pepijn van der Stap。
The statement did not identify the man by name, but his boss, Benjamin Korper of Amsterdam-based cybersecurity company Neo Security, said it was Pepijn van der Stap, the company's offensive security lead.
Korper在接受路透社电话采访时表示,9月15日晚,荷兰取证调查人员造访了他们的办公室,同晚Van der Stap在警方突击行动中被捕。
In a telephone interview with Reuters, Korper said his office was visited by Dutch forensic investigators on September 15, the same night Van der Stap was arrested in a police raid.
Van der Stap因2023年因数据窃取和勒索被判刑而广受关注,随后他公开弃绝网络犯罪也备受瞩目。Korper称他在雇佣前对Van der Stap进行了仔细审查,对其被捕感到震惊。“与我交谈过的每个人都感到目瞪口呆,”他说。
Van der Stap's 2023 convictions of data theft and extortion received widespread publicity, as did his subsequent disavowal of cybercrime. Korper said he had carefully vetted Van der Stap before hiring him and was shocked by the arrest. "Absolutely everybody I talked to is flabbergasted,” he said.
他表示已聘请外部公司调查Van der Stap是否入侵了Neo Security或其客户,但目前调查人员未发现他针对雇主或客户采取行动的证据。
He said he had hired an outside firm to investigate whether Van der Stap had hacked Neo Security or its customers, but so far investigators have found no evidence that he acted against his employer or its clients.
Korper称自逮捕以来未与Van der Stap联系。路透社试图联系Van der Stap或确认其律师或代表,但暂未成功。
Korper said he had not been in touch with Van der Stap since the arrest. Attempts by Reuters to reach Van der Stap or identify a lawyer or representative were not immediately successful.
独立记者Brian Krebs最先报道了Van der Stap被捕的消息。
