German Government Links Russia to Signal Cyber Attacks
A recent report indicates that the German government attributes a wave of phishing attacks on the messaging service Signal to Russian operatives.
The attacks have reportedly compromised at least 300 Signal accounts, including those of federal ministers and the Bundestag president. Investigations reveal that the attackers accessed chat histories and files exchanged via the platform. The Federal Prosecutor’s Office has initiated a probe into potential espionage, while the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution suspects state-sponsored involvement. All affected devices have been secured to prevent further data breaches.
