> As of now, the AIVD hackers do not seem to have access to Cozy Bear any longer. Sources suggest that the openness of US intelligence sources, who in 2017 praised the help of a Western ally in news stories, may have ruined their operation. The openness caused great anger in The Hague and Zoetermeer. In the television programme College Tour, this month, AIVD director Bertholee stated that he is extra careful when it comes to sharing intelligence with the U.S., now that Donald Trump is President.

I wonder if there are more countries like this, and if so, how much the other Western countries already know that the US doesn't.

I'm sure Israel is near the top of that list.[1]

In the same TV program it was suggested that the national benefits of working with the US have become much more uncertain: working with the FBI might anger the white house and damage trade relations etc.

I think Israel had an even worse leak happen, they'll be more careful too.

There's evidence that the Mueller investigation began with materials shared by at least one other foreign signals agency.
