Hacker Attack on the German Parliament

There is new insight into the hacker attack on the German Bundestag Parliament: the attackers were looking for current Word documents, among other things.The focus were documents that were drawn up after May 1, and the hacker stole about 20 gigabytes of data from the network. The hack was first discovered when two computers infected with malicious software tried to contact a server to transfer data. German media states that the Bundestag may need to replace 20,000 computers after the recent attack.

“The trojans are still active,” quoted the Spiegel online edition, highlighting the possible risks in terms of security. The hackers had managed to dig deep into the network of the Bundestag for months. Ultimately, they were able to take over the so-called directory service of the Bundestag.
