Cyber Cloun: Germany was accused and released by a security official in relations with Russia
The publication states that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Germany said that Arne Shenb, President of the Federal Information Security Department, is obliged to leave his position "immediately". This decision was made after the German program accused Shenbom of maintaining indirect contacts with Russian intelligence through the German Cybersecurity Council. This department himself helped to create about 10 years ago.
ZDF Magazin Royale indicated that Shenb continued to maintain contacts with the Protelion Foundation and called it "Cyber Cloun". As for the Fund, he, according to the newspaper, is a renamed German unit of Infotecs cybersecurity firm, which was founded by the former agent of the Soviet KGB. According to the spokesman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Germany Britta Bealage-Khaarmann, the accusations were strongly undermined by Shenbom's authority.
"This is relevant in the current crisis with the Russian hybrid war," she added. But she noticed that SHNB would be considered innocent until the evidence appeared. On the other hand, the release itself cannot be called final, since the investigation is still being conducted. Journalists write that in Germany they were warned of increased cyberwar, espionage and misinformation campaigns in the country from the Russian Federation.
All this happens against the background of Vladimir Putin's war with Ukraine. Earlier, Focus reported that Xi Jinping was at the XX Congress of the CCP. The Secretary General of the China stressed that the next five years for China will be decisive. Beijing intends to support the idea of a "multipolar world" and finally resolve Taiwan's question. We will also remind that in the UK is waiting for the return of Boris Johnson to the post of prime minister.
