After the German government confirmed last week that it will hand over the Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, a message appeared on the Killnet Telegram channel that a full-scale cyber-attack on the country’s websites was launched. The hackers created the hashtag “#ГерманияRİP” and urged them to “take part in the sacred vengeance of the ancestors”.

The list of target sites that Killnet posts on their channels includes:

• federal government.
• Ministry of Defense
• Intelligence.
• police
• The Ministry of Finance.
• German bank.
• Federal German Bank.
• The 9 largest airports are in Berlin, Munich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Dresden and other cities.

BSI, which monitors cyber threats in the country, concluded that the group’s attacks caused “minor disruptions” but were ultimately “mostly repelled without serious consequences”.

Some sites are currently unavailable, but there is no indication of any direct impact on related services and BSI considers this to be unexpected if normal precautions are in place.

Something is said in the Kremlin.

The press secretary of Russian dictator Dmitry Peskov said he was “surprised” why any hacker group was associated with Russia, and found it absurd.

We don’t know what this group is. [Killnet]. We sincerely wonder why any hacker group is associated with Russia. No one can explain why it happened with some of them, for example, with Russia and not with a European country.
– says Peskov.

At the same time, the Kremlin representative implies that the USA is behind it.
