On Tuesday evening local time, the Dutch government websites Rijksoverheid.nl and Government.nl were hit by a large DDoS attack, reported Dutch news site Webwereld. Recently, Dutch banks and DigiD, an identity management platform used by Dutch government agencies, also experienced service disruptions due to DDoS attacks.
People who said they are supporters of Kamphuis claimed to be responsible for some of the attacks in a post on Pastebin Tuesday.
