DUTCH TEENS ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO SPY ON EUROPOL FOR RUSSIA

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Two 17-year-old Dutch teens were arrested near Europol, Eurojust, and the Canadian embassy in The Hague for allegedly using WiFi sniffing devices to spy for Russia. Recruited via Telegram, they were detained after a Dutch intelligence tip, with one arrest occurring at home while the suspect was doing homework, unaware of their activities. Europol confirmed the incident but said its systems weren't compromised, marking a shift from Russian youth recruitment for vandalism to espionage.
