Germany's Ministry of the Interior accuses China of a 2021 cyber attack on the Federal Office of Cartography and Geodesy, denouncing it as a threat to sovereignty and warning of future intensification in cyber offensives.
Minister Faeser emphasized the seriousness of the attack, calling out Chinese state-controlled actors and urging China to cease such activities, while acknowledging the high professionalism and resource expenditure of cyber operations.
The attack compromised a part of BKG's network but did not spread malware further; networks were rebuilt to ensure security. Germany's decision to publicly name China as the perpetrator aligns with escalating global concerns over state-affiliated cyber threats.
