Russian hackers have attacked German authorities’ websites and made them temporarily inaccessible.
According to the news magazine Spiegel, the attacks targeted, among others, the Ministry of Defense, the Bundestag, the Federal Police and several state police authorities. Federal Chancellor Olaf Solz’s SPD website is also said to have been affected.
According to the report, the attacks were the so-called DDoS (“Distributed Denial of Service”) attacks, in which attackers want to paralyze servers with a flood of requests. The Russian hacker group “Killnet” claimed responsibility for the attack on the Telegram messenger service. According to “Spiegel”, according to the authorities, this is retaliation for German arms deliveries to Ukraine.
The FBI declined to comment further, but said attacks of this kind were not very sophisticated and could be dealt with using standard technologies.
