    German Government Links Signal Cyberattacks to Russia

    A recent report indicates that the German government attributes a wave of cyberattacks on the messaging service Signal to Russian actors.

    According to “Der Spiegel,” the phishing campaign has compromised at least 300 Signal accounts, including those of federal ministers and the Bundestag president. Investigations reveal that attackers accessed chat histories and files, prompting the Federal Prosecutor’s Office to initiate a probe into potential espionage. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution suspects state-sponsored involvement in the attacks, which also targeted journalists and military personnel.
