Dutch agency warns of cyber spying ahead of 5g report

he Dutch intelligence agency (AIVD) on Tuesday warned of the escalating threat of state-backed cyber espionage, saying the Netherlands was particularly vulnerable as a hub for international business, telecoms and human rights groups.

Its report comes as European states, including the Netherlands, assess the safety of their 5g telecommunications networks amid an international row over whether equipment made by China’s Huawei could pose a threat to national security.
