If you all remember the fuss about the "terughackwet", a law that would allow the police to hack people, this is what I meant when I said that the AIVD (general intelligence agency) and MIVD (military intelligence agency) have had this power since the beginning of time. This merely proves that they're actively using their capabilities and that the police doesn't really need it; they can just ask another agency.

I would assume the same for forcing passwords out of people, something which is still supposed to be illegal in the Netherlands but isn't. The AIVD and MIVD have the right to do this.

I've got one question though: does anyone know what they mean with "They acquire mySQL databases via CNE access." What is CNE?
