Dutch government autentification system hit by DDoS attack.
On 3 March 2025, a large-scale DDoS attack disrupted DigiD, the Netherlands’ government authentication system, preventing thousands of people from accessing government and other essential online services, including tax, municipal, healthcare and MijnOverheid services. Several connected government systems, including DigiD Machtigen, BSNk and Digipoort, were also affected. The attacks were repeated, and although Dutch digital-service provider Logius confirmed that the systems were being targeted, the perpetrators were not identified.
