"Cyberwar Against Partners of Ukraine": Hackers attacked a manufacturer of Leopard tanks in Germany

The German media reports that several subsidiaries of Rheinmetall have also been injured. These include Kolbenschmidt, where there were problems with the operation of different systems. Dax Rheinmetall in Germany was a victim of cyberattack. The Cologne Prosecutor's Office has already initiated the relevant proceedings in this case, which is written by Spiegel.

It is reported that a representative of the local central and contact center for cybercrime (ZAC) confirmed that the investigation has already begun. According to journalists, investigative bodies do not want to comment on the scale and a serious hacker attack. Several RheinMetall subsidiaries have also been reported more than what reported. Among them is Kolbenschmidt in German Neccarzulma. On April 14, a variety of systems refused to work at the enterprise.

The publication writes that the Rheinmetall itself confirmed the incident only in the group. It is primarily engaged in industrial customers and automotive companies. "Thus, the breakdown will not affect the military business," the company spokesman said. According to the head of the Ministry of Defense of Canada Anita Anand in Ottawa, in recent weeks of the Russian Federation significantly increased the activity of harmful cybernetic actions, called to harm the partners of Ukraine.

Ukrinform writes about it. According to a Canadian official, this trend is recorded in the world. "These actions are a direct response to our firm support from the people and the Government of Ukraine, and they will not interfere with the Canadian support of Ukraine," she said. The minister noted that often harmful actions are concerned with critical infrastructure, so businesses need to be prepared for the threats of Russian hackers.

Earlier it was reported that on April 13, Russian hackers managed to break the closed system of management of NATO troops. The Killnet group has become available information about the titles, skills, addresses and other personal data of both Nativ military and Armed Forces. To understand what is being said in the documents, the attackers used the translator on the Internet. Also we will remind that, according to The Economist, Russian hackers are preparing a new campaign against Ukraine.
