Data Breach Hits Germany’s National Statistics Agency
Destatis Reports Suspected Data Leak
Berlin, Nov 15, 2024 – Germany’s national statistics agency, Destatis, has reported a suspected data leak following a media report that the organization had been attacked by pro-Russian hackers.
Destatis Statement
Destatis stated in a statement that it had "received indications of a possible data breach on November 13" in its IDEV data-sharing system, adding that the portal had been "taken offline as a precaution until further notice." The Federal Office for Information Security has been asked to investigate the incident, Destatis said.
Pro-Russian Hackers Involved
Earlier this week, the Neue Zuercher Zeitung (NZZ) newspaper reported that 3.8 gigabytes of data had been stolen from Destatis, probably from the IDEV platform, and was being offered for sale on a so-called dark net forum. The stolen information was mostly about businesses who use the portal to upload data, such as names, addresses, and login details for their accounts.
Attackers Claimed to be Targeting NATO Countries
According to the NZZ, the attack was carried out by a group of pro-Russian hackers from Indonesia who have said they want to target NATO countries with their operations. Germany is on high alert for possible sabotage attempts in the run-up to February’s election.
Previous Cyber Attacks
German intelligence chiefs have repeatedly warned of attempts by Moscow and allied actors to spread disinformation or carry out cyber attacks. In May, Berlin accused a group known as ATP28, which is linked to Russian military intelligence, of targeting members of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party.
