Police in Amsterdam seized a server from a data center in the city’s eastern district on Tuesday, following a request from U.S. authorities. The police confirmed the seizure after it was reported by the NRC.

The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.

Police have not disclosed which specific data will be transferred to U.S. authorities. The server will be returned to the data center once the process is complete.

    100 km of a line in the ground? you have a much better opinion about work ethic of agents. leaving aside that global uplink might be moving in radio contact with stationary one. the obvious signature is 1kw of solar panels, but even that can be obfuscated down to satellite resolution. but considering even the first step (fully owned servers) is not implemented that’s whatever theorizing about cyberpunk future tbh.
