Russia cyber attack on Germany a 'form of warfare'

A suspected attack by Russian hackers on computer systems used by the German government is still ongoing and may be more serious than at first thought, MPs warned on Thursday.

“I'm worried that a lot more is going to come out in the coming weeks,” André Hahn, an opposition member of the influential parliamentary intelligence committee said. “I'm afraid this is going to get bigger in the next few days.”

It has been widely reported in the German press that security officials believe the attack is the work of Fancy Bear, a Russian hacking group thought to have links to Vladimir Putin’s intelligence services. Also known as APT28, Fancy Bear is believed to have links to Russian military intelligence. The group is thought to have been behind cyber attacks that targeted Nato headquarters and last year’s German and French elections, as well as a 2014 attack on the German parliament.
