TLDR:

The Dutch Ministry of Defense has accused China of cyber spying after the Dutch Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) discovered advanced Chinese malware known as Coathanger. The malware was found on Fortinet’s Fortigate systems, which are used for allowing remote work. The MIVD published a bulletin to notify IT workers about the threat. The Dutch agencies want Fortigate users to be able to determine if they have become victims and take necessary measures to defend themselves. Last year, Chinese hacker group Chimera allegedly breached the systems of Dutch chip manufacturer NXP.
