And a wakeup call that if your information is there, that you make sure you get it wiped ASAP. Because obviously the people running the company see no moral problems with handing over your data to someone else.
The thing is if you live in the Netherlands you kinda need it. I never knew it’s operated by a private company though, that’s ridiculously dumb.

Stunning that anything of this nationwide importance should be anything other than a national asset!
Same should apply to EVERY essential unique/monopolistic national utility or network (water, electricity, rail, motorway, cable, etc.)
Definitely! After reading the article it’s not THAT bad but it’s still not good. The service is developed and managed by a government company BUT the IT service is outsourced to a private Dutch company that’s owned by a British company. Like what the fuck?
