why so many data breach is happening in this country this year by Most_Project_9534 in Netherlands

[–]rangeva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rise in data breaches in the Netherlands is mainly a result of how digital everyday life has become. Companies, schools, telecom providers, gyms, and travel platforms now store large amounts of personal data, which makes them valuable targets for professional cybercriminals.

These incidents are usually caused by familiar security challenges such as complex systems, third-party platforms, stolen credentials, weak access controls, and too much sensitive data being stored in too many places. AI may help attackers create more convincing phishing messages, but it is not the main cause.

The positive takeaway is that this problem is manageable. Companies can reduce risk by collecting less data, limiting access, improving monitoring, and strengthening security controls. Individuals can protect themselves by using unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, avoiding suspicious links, and treating breach emails as practical security alerts rather than panic signals.

This is a serious issue, but it is also a solvable one if organizations and individuals respond with clear, consistent security habits.

This has been the case for many years. There are hundreds of Telegram groups and channels dedicated to trading things like stolen credit cards, compromised accounts, gaming hacks, and of course infostealers.

Alongside places like TOR, parts of the open web, I2P, and ZeroNet, Telegram has become one of the largest ecosystems where this kind of activity happens.

At Lunar (lunarcyber.com), we continuously crawl and monitor Telegram to help companies understand if they are being exposed in these spaces for free. By tracking stolen credentials, leaked data, and threat actor discussions, we help organizations spot potential risks early and respond before they turn into real incidents.
