Germany Holds Russia Accountable for Cyber Attack on SPD Headquarters

The German government attributes a recent cyber attack on the SPD headquarters to a unit of the Russian military intelligence service GRU, leading to diplomatic actions. The hacker group APT28, associated with the GRU, is recognized for previous cyber assaults and is condemned by Western governments.

Germany firmly confronts Russian cyber aggression, with the Federal Government announcing consequences and summoning Russian officials to address the intolerable breach. The cyber attack, seen as a response to Berlin's support for Ukraine, underscores the ongoing global concern over state-sponsored cyber threats originating from Russia, as highlighted by both the EU and NATO in recent statements.
