In a stunning blow to national security, two Dutch teens got themselves busted for playing spy. Their tool? A Wi-Fi sniffer. Their patron saint? The goddamn Kremlin, apparently.
Some spook-with-too-much-time-on-his-hands supposedly recruited them on Telegram. So they went cruising past Europol, sniffing for... what? The EU's WiFi password? They got nabbed doing their homework—a perfect, pathetic cover.
Their parents are reportedly shattered. "We warned them about drugs and alcohol," they weep, "not fucking treason!" But let's be real—this is 2025. Basic rebellion is for bores. Getting accused of working for the FSB before you can legally buy a beer? Now that's a hobby. What a time to be alive.
