Dutch Teens Arrested for Allegedly Spying for Russia: A Wake-Up Call?
Two 17-year-old Dutch teenagers were apprehended by authorities for allegedly using hacking devices to spy for Russia. The pair utilized WiFi sniffers near Europol, Eurojust, and the Canadian embassy in The Hague, with Europol confirming the incident but asserting no system compromise. Recruited via Telegram, the arrests followed a tip from the Dutch intelligence service, with the investigation leading to their continued custody. This incident echoes similar recruitment tactics seen elsewhere in Europe, highlighting the use of young individuals in espionage activities.
