CTIVD: AIVD en MIVD verwerken persoonsgegevens in bulkdata onrechtmatig
The Dutch intelligence services, AIVD and MIVD, have unlawfully processed personal data in bulk datasets, according to a ruling by the Committee for the Supervision of the Intelligence and Security Services (CTIVD). The report, published on July 1, 2026, states that groups of employees had unauthorized access to personal data, and large quantities of data were stored for too long. The bulk datasets, sometimes containing millions of records, include names, phone numbers, location data, social media data, and communication content, sourced from government agencies, commercially available datasets, or stolen datasets offered by criminals. The CTIVD has issued thirteen recommendations to improve the situation.
FAQ
Questions about Netherlands cybersecurity signals
What is included on the Netherlands page?
This page brings together current signals connected to Netherlands through an affected location, a reviewed company profile, or both.
Does a signal prove the attacker is based in Netherlands?
No. The country connection describes affected locations or profiled company locations. It does not claim actor origin unless a source explicitly establishes that separately.
Why can the number of signals change?
The page follows the rolling current-reporting window. Counts change as new incidents are added, evidence is reviewed, and older signals leave that window.
