Dutch Government

The Dutch government experienced a series of denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks targeting municipalities and organizations linked to the NATO summit in The Hague. The attacks, claimed by pro-Russian hacker group NoName057(16), appeared to be ideologically motivated. Although the attacks impacted websites associated with municipalities, core government services and summit operations remained unaffected. The Dutch government implemented a major security initiative, Operation Orange Shield, to safeguard the event.
