“I am there taking of been insufficiently aware that, given the nature of my work, the private e-mail service used by me was not suitable. ” Kamp not the picture that there is secret information on his private e-mail account was.



Phishing Attack

In July 2014 Camp did report the hacking of his private-account. During an investigation established that it was probably an indiscriminate attack. The minister would have become the victim of a general phishing attack where people are tempted to enter their username and password to a malicious site.

Camp mentions the use of his business account outside the Ministry cumbersome and not user friendly.

Camp told initially that he continues to use his private mail business because he finds it easiest. “So it is,” said the minister at the television Nieuwsuur .



Deleted

He now comes back. “Using my private email account I have been retired for work-related email traffic and at my request have been deleted emails from my personal email account and stored separately,” Camp writes. He points out that the use of a private-account for business emails is not prohibited.

MP Kees Verhoeven (D66), the procedure was called naive and inattentive. He stressed that especially ministers and the government target of hackers from countries such as China and Russia.

Verhoeven calls it worrisome that can not be excluded if there are state secrets leaked
