Dutch authorities will have to replace tens of thousands of insecure road traffic lights over the next six years by 2030.
Officials are taking this extreme and very expensive step after a security researcher found a vulnerability that could allow threat actors to change traffic lights on demand.
The issue was discovered earlier this year by Alwin Peppels, a security engineer for Dutch security firm Cyber Seals.
