Russian hackers from the group “APT28,” have “successfully attacked the foreign and defense ministry,” according to information from “security circles” obtained by the German Press Agency. The cyber attack reportedly included capturing data from Germany’s “Berlin-Bonn” information network, and the attack could have gone on for as long as an entire year. German security agencies recognized the attack in December, and enforcement officials still do not know deep in the system the hackers got. APT28 hackers reportedly hacked NATO and the Caucasus region in the past, and has been “linked to Russian military intelligence.”
