Cyberattacks are growing in number and in speed. The question is not whether your office will be targeted, but whether you will notice, and how quickly you will be up and running again. The Secure Notariaat audit gives you the answer, in black and white.
Three cyberattacks from recent weeks, and what they mean for a notary office.
After a cyberattack, MyMinfin, Biztax and other online applications were taken offline as a precaution. Several tax filing deadlines were extended to 16 November 2026.
Refrigeration systems in stores of Delhaize, Carrefour and Spar, among others, were disrupted, leaving shelves empty. Experts point to the remote access suppliers have to manage those systems.
The parent company of Keytrade Bank lost more than 100 million euros in an attack on its own payments. According to the group, customers suffer no financial consequences.
