Summary

Germany is investigating a suspected Russian cyberattack on the German Association for East European Studies (DGO), a Berlin-based research group deemed “undesirable” by Moscow.

Intelligence agencies BSI and BfV linked the breach to APT 29, or “Cozy Bear,” a Kremlin-affiliated hacker group also suspected of targeting German political parties.

Hackers accessed DGO’s email servers, triggering concerns due to IP patterns matching a previous attack.

The DGO reported prior incidents, including stalking and break-ins. Germany recently warned 70 academic institutions of similar threats from Russia.
