German Parliament targeted again by Russian state hackers

Email accounts of seven members of the German federal parliament (Bundestag) and 31 members of German regional parliaments were targeted in a spearphishing attack. The attack was carried out by sending phishing emails sent to the politicians’ private emails. Most parliament members targeted in this attack are part of the CDU/CSU and SPD governing parties. It is not yet known if any data was stolen during the incident. German security authorities suspect that a Russian military intelligence hacking group dubbed Ghostwriter was behind the attack.
