The Nijmegen-based chip maker Nexperia has been hit by a ransomware attack. The hackers say they stole hundreds of gigabytes of sensitive data and are threatening to publish trade secrets if Nexperia doesn’t pay a ransom, RTL Nieuws reports.Nexperia, known for chips used in telephones and cars, confirmed to the broadcaster that it was hacked last month but would say nothing further due to the ongoing investigation.
The University of Twente is developing a plan together with institutions in scientific and vocational education in the Groningen, Delft, Eindhoven and Twente regions to educate more technical talent. This is needed to strengthen and preserve the Netherlands' chip sector. The cabinet presented plans to this end last week. The so-called 'Beethoven' project includes a substantial investment in engineering education.
