Dutch intelligence reported that Russian hackers exploited weak passwords and outdated software to access surveillance cameras near NATO logistics routes, monitoring military movements. The agency said it did not confirm that the cameras were specifically targeted for weapons supplies to Ukraine.
The Netherlands' intelligence service disclosed on Saturday that Russian state-sponsored hackers breached surveillance cameras positioned near NATO logistics routes, using weak passwords and outdated software to gain access. The operation allowed the hackers to monitor military movements, though the agency did not confirm a specific link to tracking weapons supplies to Ukraine.
The report adds to a growing body of evidence of Russian cyber and hybrid warfare activities across Europe, as documented by multiple intelligence agencies. The Zioneer has previously reported on Russian cyber operations, including jamming of Starlink satellites and suspected drone launches over European military sites. This latest incident underscores the persistent threat to critical infrastructure and the challenges of securing surveillance networks.
