On September 11, 2026, cybercriminal group ShinyHunters reportedly accessed the personal information of approximately 6.39 million current and former Odido and Ben customers through a voice-phishing (vishing) attack that compromised employee accounts. This incident, triggered by a single phone call in early February 2026, involved ShinyHunters, known for using social engineering tactics to breach corporate defenses.

Limburg replaces Martijn Teekens, who steps down after 23 years with the operator, formerly known as T-Mobile, having helped build its Enterprise organization.
