Long Queues and Delay in Testing for Access by Hack Attempt | Inland

According to Tests for Access, there is no indication that the hackers were actually able to penetrate the system. Measures were immediately taken to exclude further attack attempts and to secure the systems.

Foreman Tom Middendorp of the Open Netherlands Foundation says about the hacking attempt: “Thousands of people are looking forward to going out for the first time in months and many test locations are fully booked today. It is therefore very disappointing to see someone trying to disrupt this from the outside. Safety is our top priority and we were able to address this right away, but this caused delays and some people now have to wait longer for their test results. Together with the test providers, we are therefore doing everything we can to clear the backlog so that everyone can enjoy a nice evening out.”

The foundation is conducting further investigations into the attack attempt with external parties.

From Friday night at 00.00, the corona rules for clubs, discotheques and cafes will be relaxed. Many people are eager to get back into the nightlife without having to keep one and a half meters away. They can if they show a negative access test.

In any case, the test capacity at Testing for Access will be increased next weekend. To this end, the opening hours will be extended so that the capacity increases by 50 percent.
