Dutch teens arrested for trying to spy on Europol for Russia

Two 17-year-old Dutch boys were arrested for allegedly conducting espionage for Russia using WiFi sniffing devices near Europol, Eurojust and the Canadian embassy in The Hague; they were recruited via Telegram and detained after a tip from the Dutch intelligence service (AIVD). Europol reports no signs of compromise of its systems; the activity is characterized as reconnaissance using WiFi sniffers, echoing broader patterns of low-level recruitment by state-linked actors in Europe.
