Germany accused Russia today of launching cyberattacks on its defence and aerospace firms and ruling party, as well as targets in other countries, and warned there would be unspecified consequences. — Reuters picBERLIN, May 3 — Germany accused Russia today of launching cyberattacks on its defence and aerospace firms and ruling party, as well as targets in other countries, and warned there would be unspecified consequences.

Germany’s government said it had summoned Russia’s envoy to protest over what it said was a campaign launched two years ago by a group linked to Moscow’s GRU military intelligence agency. Germany and its partners would not tolerate the attacks and “will use the entire spectrum of measures to prevent, deter and respond to Russia’s aggressive behaviour in cyberspace,” a spokesperson from Germany’s foreign ministry said.The Czech Republic said a number of its entities, that it did not name, had been hit by the Russian campaign since last year.

Germany’s SPD had previously said the email accounts of senior members had been targeted but that it was not clear whether data had been stolen. A German spokesperson for Microsoft referred Reuters to a blog post stating that a Russian-based actor had been using a tool referred to as GooseEgg since as early as April 2019 to steal credentials.
