Chinese state-sponsored hackers broke into an internal computer network used by the Dutch Ministry of Defence last year, the Netherlands said Tuesday. In a rare announcement , both the country’s military (MIVD) and civilian (AIVD) security services said the ministry had been hacked for espionage purposes after the threat actor exploited a vulnerability in FortiGate devices, as first reported by Reuters.
