Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
The dataset records that two Dutch teenagers were arrested in September 2025 for using a wifi sniffer in The Hague in August, apparently on the instructions of a pro-Russian hacker on Telegram. It codes the incident as unknown, apparent goal unknown, target unknown, location The Netherlands; the dataset dates it only to August 2025, so the date shown is the first of the month. The Leiden dataset includes incidents linked to Russia by officials, incidents fitting a pattern of officially suspected attacks, or incidents backed by journalistic evidence, and its authors call the data speculative and subject to change.
