Belgium arrested two people suspected of hacking two “large” container terminal operators’ websites to enable narcotics imports through the port of Antwerp, Dutch authorities said.

“Two information- and communications-technology specialists were arrested last week and are suspected of being responsible” for the high-technology part of operation, the Dutch public prosecutor said on its website today. The pair are still being held and have made several confessions in the meantime, the prosecutor said.
