German expert sure that “Russian hackers” launched a cyber attack on the Defense Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany

Hacker attacks on the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany, committed last year, were the work of “Russian hackers,” said cybersecurity expert Benjamin Reid.

According to the expert, the attack was carried out by the APT28 group, which is closely connected with the Russian special services of the GRU and "either fully controlled by it or funded by the Russian government."

Given the group's goals, as well as such signs as “viruses with notes in Russian” from servers in Russia, it is safe to say that APT28 works “by order of Russian special services,” he said.

The choice of goals, the methods used, the long-term sustainability - all these are clear signs of cooperation with government agencies, state funding. It is still not clear which special service is behind APT28, but the participation of Russian structures is undoubtedly for us. We have been observing for several months already that APT28 has deliberately launched attacks on the ministries of foreign affairs and defense in the EU in order to gain access to secure systems,

quotes Reed InoTV.

In turn, foreign policy expert from the CDU parliamentary faction, Roderich Kizevetter, noted that “this attack shows how important cyber security is at present as part of national security.”

Our responsible agencies should be better prepared for threats. Germany has a chance to demand that such attacks be recognized as criminal internationally. The UN is a suitable forum. However, we also need to create a robust cyber defense, as well as the potential for retaliating cyber defenses, best of all within the framework of the overall EU strategy

concluded the deputy.

“Given the goals of the group, as well as signs such as“ viruses with notes in Russian ”from servers in Russia, we can confidently say that APT28 works“ by order of the Russian special services ”“ No, these are not ours ... our programmers are Russian already they forgot ... Only people completely incompetent in this matter could write such a thing ... It's like in a joke ... roofing felts budenovka, roofing felts dragging behind a parachute betrayed him a Russian saboteur ...

Definitely Russians are to blame for everything.
So what??? Who to complain now after yesterday's demonstration? Mattresses were blown away.
Yesterday, the Russian President said that all Russophobes can go to the garden.
First we will throw you hats, and if you don’t calm down for us, Putin and Kuzhugetych will harness themselves.

These are not just Russian hackers, take it higher. He saw

JOKE:
Two hackers meet, one asks: - What provider do you have? - FSB. - What is it like? - Yes, they have instructed so many bugs in our office, and now I’m connecting through them.

From the report on Russian hackers it follows that since the time of hacker attacks coincides with the time of a working day in Russia, they are definitely Russians. They also crap in our entrances at night, when all people sleep, and in America they work.
Is Trump really?

I will say more ... Germans urgently need to contact their partners to impose sanctions against three Russian citizens who ... rudely hacked the German dream .. these three Russian hackers rudely and unceremoniously violated all the rules and deprived the German people of gold and faith ... Here are their names Voinov, Kaprizov and Gusev are all members of the UAR hacker group, and there is direct evidence of state support for this group and Putin personally, who personally congratulated this group on successful hacker attacks

APT28 group, which is closely connected with the Russian special services of the GRU andor completely controlled by her or funded by the Russian government "

Was the group itself talking about the relationship with the GRU or was it reflected in the notes “in Russian”? But doesn’t it bother him twice or in his words?

[Prisoner]

Yes, we ourselves now begin to think that Russian hackers rule the world.

No, it's simple. I put the computer into sleep mode, but the cat can’t sleep at night, crawls in and starts playing with the buttons on the keyboard. Cheslovo, sorry sworn partners, I will lock the cat in the bathroom for the night.

Germany is increasingly gaining insolence in its attacks on Russia, because we, unlike Israel, are embarrassed at the state level, at the very least, to poke their faces in their "glorious" Nazi past, to remind them of the atrocities of their fascist ancestors on our land on the contrary, we educate boys as "Kolya's boy", calling for reconciliation ...

The current "world jurisprudence" amuses me in its own way: it is not based on facts, but on such ordered "certainties."

Someone tell iksperd that the GRU has not existed since 2010.
There is the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Well, the right word - no one else!

Boring girls!

It is still not clear which intelligence agency is exactly behind APT28, but the participation of Russian structures is undoubtedly for us

What do you want? According to the Minsk agreements, keep quiet, keep American nuclear warheads in your possession, prepare your soldiers for participation in peacekeepers in the Donbass, introduce illegal sanctions against Russia, but not only a cyber attack, but a good one on the head.

[Slovak]

If the “government hackers” are so smart, then why don't they have the intelligence not to leave notes in Russian? It’s ridiculous.
