The Russia-linked Sofacy hacking group has breached the secure computer networks of a number of German federal agencies.

The group – also known as APT28, Fancy Bear, and Pawn Storm – has been targeting government institutions, political organizations and military/defense companies around the world for over a decade.

Confirmation of the breach
The confirmation of the breach came from Johannes Dimroth, a spokesman for the German Interior Ministry, but he did not comment on the possible perpetrator.
