Dutch intelligence agencies have revealed that the Chinese hacking group Salt Typhoon targeted organizations in the Netherlands.

In a joint statement published August 28 on the Dutch Ministry of Defence’s website, the Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) and the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) said they have now “independently confirmed parts of the US findings with their own intelligence.”

[...]

While Dutch organizations “most likely were not as heavily targeted as those in the US,” the MIVD and AIVD have identified victims in the Netherlands.

They stated that they observed evidence indicating Salt Typhoon gained access to the routers of Dutch targets, primarily small internet service providers (ISPs) and hosting providers.

However, their probe concluded that there is no evidence that the hackers penetrated deeper into those companies’ internal networks.

[...]

“Chinese cyber operations […] have become so advanced that constant vigilance and proactive measures are required to detect and mitigate threats against Dutch interests,” the statement on the Dutch Ministry of Defence website said.
