Chinese hackers have hacked into over 2,700 devices in the Netherlands as part of a global hack, the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) reported after warnings from the American and British authorities. The hackers are allegedly affiliated with the Chinese State and want to use the over 260,000 devices they hacked globally for large-scale cyber attacks.
