In the new situation, hacking, targeted interception and data access operations get an automatic extension beyond the actual target of the warrant. If a warrant is requested to intercept the communications of a specific hacking organization, the warrant now also extends to victims of this hacking group. Or, more concretely, if your computer gets hacked by group X and there was a warrant to intercept the traffic of group X, the Dutch services now gain automatic approval to also intercept your communications or hack you.
