Dutch Prison Service Data Breach Deepens as Ministers Say Staff Names and Location Data Were Accessed

Investigators link the intrusion to an Ivanti EPMM flaw that can grant remote control of managed devices.

Overview

  • Dienst Justitiële Inrichtingen confirms a data leak and is investigating the cause, with a notification to the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens and the NCSC informed.
  • An Argos investigation reports intruders had at least five months of access and may still retain persistence in systems.
  • Exposed items include employee email addresses, phone numbers and security certificates tied to corporate mobile phones, laptops and tablets.
  • NCSC warns patching may not remove backdoors and advises wiping and reinstalling potentially compromised devices.
  • The government says additional bodies were affected via Ivanti EPMM, including Dienst Terugkeer en Vertrek, the Justitiële ICT Organisatie, the medicines regulator CBG and one municipality.
