Briefly

The bugs allowed onlookers to find meeting details such as where and when they were being held, the host's identity, duration, attendees, and its agenda. Dutch housing minister Hugo de Jonge's whereabouts were visible via the meeting metadata...
Officials in Germany could theoretically have also been compromised to a greater extent than those in the Netherlands... the government, at least in some cases, doesn't password-protect its WebEx confabs.
It wouldn't be a stretch to assume that the Russian leak of Bundeswehr calls in March was due to the bug in question.
While there's no hard evidence to suggest that the flaws were actually abused by a hostile power, it remains a possibility and the Dutch government has launched an investigation as a result.
