Dutch photojournalist convicted; misused leaked login credentials and shared the info on WhatsApp

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Dissent

Janene Van Jaarsveldt reports:

A 22 year old freelance 112 photo journalist from Drunen has been found guilty of computer intrusion after he found login details of a secure system online, used it to log in to the system and then spread the information. The court in Oost-Brabant sentenced him to 80 hours of community service, 40 of which are conditionally suspended.

The suspect found user names and passwords for the National Crisis Management System online. This system coordinates the deployment of public services during disasters and other incidents. The man used the login details to access the system several times. He made screenshots of a page containing information about an incident in the prison in Vught in 2014 and shared this with a WhatsApp group.
