Aotearoa hasn’t had the data of its police officers hacked (yet), but otherwise it seems like you could replace every instance of ‘the Netherlands’ in this article with ‘New Zealand’.
Perhaps Guyon Espiner could turn his eye to whether our agencies have assessed the risk

Trump has free rein over Dutch government data
The Netherlands relies heavily on American IT service providers such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon for the storage of government data.

A few points for the left
A few thoughts as the flames of fascism rise up all around, consuming people and planet.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth.
Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

If, for example, the Chinese state did half of what Musk and Trump are doing to the US federal government, degrading its capacities, undermining its ability to function, destabilising the Union, it would be considered an act of war.
These are not patriots. They're an urgent threat to national life.

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much.

You can say almost anything about Palestinians in the Western media, and suffer no consequences.
That's what Dan Hodges' nauseating comments underline.
But if we normalise this sort of depravity, the consequences will be catastrophic 👇

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare.
Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

Duck that guy!
Italian lawmakers have accused Donald Trump Jr. of hunting a protected duck in Venice’s lagoon. “It is morally despicable,” a lawmaker in parliament said on Tuesday. “And it’s a crime.”
A Trump. A Dead Duck. And an Uproar in Italy.
A video shows Donald Trump Jr. sitting in hunting gear beside a dead protected bird. Italian lawmakers want answers.

Die Bundesregierung plant massive Einschnitte, die ausgerechnet die Menschen treffen, die sowieso schon wenig haben. Macht per E-Mail Druck auf die SPD-Spitze um Olaf Scholz: Statt die Gesellschaft kaputtzusparen, wie wär's mit einer #Vermögenssteuer für Superreiche? aktion.oxfam.de/umsteuern-st...
Liebe SPD: Umsteuern statt kaputtsparen!
Die Bundesregierung will bei den Menschen sparen, die sowieso schon wenig haben. Das ist ungerecht! Fordere mit uns die SPD auf, stattdessen das Vermögen der Superreichen zu besteuern.
