In a statement issued in cooperation with international partners, including the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), German counterintelligence indicates that group 29155 has carried out espionage and sabotage operations targeting international goals.

German counterintelligence listed, among others, attacks on websites and publishing stolen data.

Action is necessary

Endangered institutions must enhance their security measures for their own protection. German counterintelligence has published a several dozen-page analysis of group 29155's activities and software, as well as suggestions on how to defend against attacks.

At the beginning of this year, Germany accused Russia of cyberattacks on the Social Democratic Party (SPD), which co-governs Germany, as well as on companies in the logistics, defence, aviation, and IT sectors.

The GRU unit, which includes group 29155, is suspected of involvement in the attempted poisoning of former GRU agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the United Kingdom in 2018.
