Dutch bill seeks to give law enforcement hacking powers
To disable a botnet it is necessary to access the command and control servers that control the botnet which can be located in a foreign country, according to the bill. The new investigative powers would also allow law enforcement to infiltrate computers or servers located in foreign countries if the location of those computers cannot be determined.
“It is important that the government wants to combat cybercrime but this proposal is rushed: it is unnecessary and creates new security risks for citizens,” said Simone Halink of Dutch digital rights organization Bits of Freedom in a blog post on Thursday.
At the moment the draft bill is in the consultation phase, meaning parties involved such as the police and other law enforcement as well as citizens and advisory bodies will be able to comment on it, ministry spokesman Wiebe AlkemaA said. Following that, the bill will be sent to sent to the Council of Ministers after which it will be sent to the Dutch Council of State, an advisory body on legislation.
