From a press release at politie.nl:
The intelligence services AIVD and MIVD announced today that a previously unknown Russian cyber group has carried out hacks on various Dutch organisations, including the police in September 2024. This fits in with the findings of the investigation that the High Tech Crime Team started immediately after the hack, under the authority of the Public Prosecution Service. They recently made part of the digital infrastructure used by this hacker group inaccessible.
… The Global Address List was stolen during the police hack. It contained the work-related contact details of police officers and several chain partners. ‘The impact of this on both our organisation and our colleagues was significant’, says Stan Duijf, head of Operations at the National Investigation and Interventions (LO) unit, and responsible for cybercrime at the police. Substantial additional security measures were immediately taken in silence. At the same time, the High Tech Crime Team (THTC) started an investigation into the perpetrators. The results of this investigation support the information published today by the intelligence services. This shows that the hacker group – which was given the name ‘LAUNDRY BEAR’ by the services – carried out cyber attacks on companies and organisations in over forty Western countries. Many victims were made in a fairly generic way. ‘The police were one of the many organisations affected by this hacker group’, says Duijf.
