It is the first time the Netherlands has publicly accused China of cyber espionage amid rising national security tensions between the two countries.
Dutch intelligence agencies say Chinese state-backed cyber spies gained access to a Dutch military network last year. It was reported by Reuters.
It is known to be the first time the Netherlands has publicly accused China of cyber espionage amid rising national security tensions between the two countries.
The agencies, known by the acronyms MIVD and AIVD, said hackers planted malware that concealed their activities on a military network used by 50 people to conduct undisclosed research.
The report says the incident was not isolated, but part of a wider trend of Chinese political espionage against the Netherlands and its allies.
According to Dutch Defense Minister Kaisi Ollongren, it is important to ensure that this type of espionage activity carried out by China is made public, as this will help increase international stability on this type of cyber espionage.
Beijing has denied allegations of cyber espionage and says it opposes all types of cyber attacks.
We remind you that the media wrote that the spies of the Russian Federation and China are changing tactics in Europe. If Russia used to operate intelligence officers under diplomatic cover, now Russian spies pose as journalists and employees of non-governmental organizations.
It was also reported that an Australian writer was sentenced to death in China for espionage.
