Dutch Police Hacked, 63,000 Officers’ Details Exposed

A suspected state-sponsored cyberattack on the Dutch police on 26 September 2024 exposed work-related contact details for nearly 63,000 officers (names, emails, phone numbers and some private data). Intelligence services consider a foreign government likely responsible; the breach targeted a specific police account, is described as sophisticated, and is under investigation by police and national security partners. The stolen data has not been publicly leaked yet but poses significant safety and operational risks to officers, informants, and covert operations.
