Nancy Faeser says Ukraine war has exacerbated German cybersecurity concerns
Germany’s interior minister has warned of a “massive danger” facingNancy Faeser said Vladimir Putin was putting huge resources into cyber-attacks as a key part of his war of aggression. “The cybersecurity concerns have been exacerbated by the war. The attacks of pro-Russia hackers have increased,” she said in an interview with the news network Funke Mediengruppe published on Sunday.
The German parliament was the target of one of the biggest cyber-attacks Germany has ever faced, in May 2015, when the internal computer system was attacked, data was stolen and MPs’ offices were forced offline. The GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, is believed to have been behind the attack.
Digital experts have said Germany is under a state of “permanent fire” from hackers. Financial institutes, armament factories, energy providers, humanitarian organisations and tax authorities have all been targeted. Experts say the attacks are often well disguised but cybercrime investigators frequently find that Russian hackers are behind them.
