Dutch police data breach

The National Police Corps of the Netherlands suffered a data breach in 2024.[1]

Discovery

The data breach was discovered on 26 September 2024.[1]

Impact

The names, email addresses and phone numbers of nearly 63,000 officers were exposed.[1] In some cases, other information was exposed.[1]

The leak did not just affect police officers, but also janitors and front-desk employees.[2]

Reactions

The incident was disclosed to the Dutch Parliament by Minister for Justice and Security David van Weel.[3]

Dutch Police chief Janny Knol said "I am – like many of you – shocked that this could have happened, and it affects me that our colleagues' data turned out not to be safe".[1] She said in a separate statement that "In order to provide safety outside, you have to feel safe inside".[1]

In October 2024 the Dutch government announced that it suspected hackers working for a foreign government to be behind the data breach.[3]
