Miljons of people in the Netherland are victim.

Edit : seems from the jumpshot period (2015 - 2020) but privacy first wants to see some money.

Old news. Back in 215, Avast openly announced what they were going to do with the data, see https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=171725.0
There was even an opt out option. CUIC's mass claim and the coverage of this in the Dutch media is once again  nonsensical.
