Dutch Institutions Under Multi-Pronged Cyberattacks
Though overshadowed by Hair on Fire articles—the truly big story over the weekend was the article on the Dutch infiltration of Cozy Bear hackers in 2015-2016, which included real time evidence of the hack’s ‘how-and-where,’ as well as visual confirmation of the hackers and handlers involved.
Pretty much blows the Trumpster’s denial of Russian interference into the 2016 elections into the Deep Blue Sea.
This morning, I read that several Dutch institutions were attacked, including large banks and their Department of Taxation. I originally read this on a tweet thread but then failed to find it mentioned anywhere else until digging around, finding a Politico & Reuter’s report.
You would think that after the Cozy Bear reveal that the ‘coincidence’ of a cyberattack on the Dutch would be vaguely newsworthy. Though the identity of the hackers are as yet unknown, the servers from which the attack came were inside Russia.
Just another strange coinky-dink, I’m sure.
