Interesting. He was indeed in national news last week as the ethical hacker who apparently twice hacked Amsterdam football club Ajax. And had an NDA as proof to show a TV station. https://www.bnr.nl/nieuws/tech-innovatie/10597115/ajaxstopteomvangrijkdatalekuit-2017-in-de-doofpot
Ajax stopte omvangrijk datalek uit 2017 in de doofpot 

Ajax had in 2017 al te maken met een datalek, dat destijds werd ontdekt door een ethisch hacker. Dit lek wist de voetbalclub onder de pet te houden via een geheimhoudingsovereenkomst met de hacker, die BNR heeft ingezien. Naast de handtekening van de hacker staat ook de handtekening van toenmalig Ajax-directeur Edwin van der Sar onder de overeenkomst.

@Joris He's a serial fabricator and many of his claims about it are likely untrue. He's experienced at getting the Dutch media to believe his inaccurate stories including previously duping them into believing he created GrapheneOS. The content on his site claims he was responsible for the 2014 celebrity nude leaks and much more. It's clearly not true and there's nothing ethical about the kind of stuff he's claiming credit for doing. He likely didn't do much or even any of what he claims.

I'll see if I can nudge a journalist to dive a bit deeper.

In a topic on Tweakers Abdoul replied:

Imho it makes him look worse. He replies with inconsistencies, simply denies without any follow-up, stays vague, tries to redirect the topic away from the actual questions, and best: his screenshots seem to line up with @GrapheneOS their story

He also uses some similar tricks to "cyber security expert" Rian van Rijbroek, from overly referring to secret services to using previous publications to proof how trustable he is

@Cambion Excellent! I already saw @arnoudwokke 's reply, but missed the GoT thread :) https://mastodon.xyz/@arnoudwokke/116323507569263695

PPS:
I notice RTL Nieuws brought the Ajax hack as their own discovery and did not mention Abdoul.
I see Abdoul responded to Tweakers and presumably that's why the post on Tweakers was modified to mention him?
BNR has the most extensive report on Abdoul and his claimed hack of Ajax in 2017. Maybe @MarkBeekhuis can nudge his colleagues :)

@Joris @arnoudwokke @MarkBeekhuis that one dóés mention it's found by "an ethical hacker". I think that refers to Abdoul.

From what I understand the Ajax thing is correct, but he seems to use that to look more creditable everywhere else regardless of truth.
