Jul 31, 2024, 02:16 PM

Germany has summoned the Chinese envoy over a serious cyberattack on its government mapping agency. The German Interior Ministry has stated that there is still a significant threat from Chinese espionage and cyber attacks. Berlin has attributed the 2021 hack on the precision mapping agency to Beijing, although there is no link to Huawei, as the cyber operators are typically working higher in the stack, such as in the cloud.
