Suspected JokerOTP phishing tool seller arrested in Netherlands

The Netherlands Police have arrested a 21-year-old man from Dordrecht suspected of selling access to the JokerOTP phishing automation tool. This tool is capable of intercepting one-time passwords (OTP) to hijack user accounts. The arrest is part of a three-year investigation that led to the dismantling of the JokerOTP phishing-as-a-service operation in April 2025, according to a recent report by Bleeping Computer.

Users are advised to remain vigilant against social engineering tactics, check for data breaches on services like Have I Been Pwned, and report suspicious activities to prevent further exploitation.
