Innere Sicherheit: Hackerangriff auf Berliner Landesnetz – Ausmaß unbekannt
Die Senatskanzlei berichtet von einem Angriff auf Teile der Verwaltung in der Hauptstadt Berlin. Ein Krisenstab ist bereits eingerichtet. Es gibt viele offene Fragen.
Berlin suffered a hacker attack on parts of the Berlin Senate administration, according to the Senate's press office. The incident was discovered during forensic investigations, affecting the Senate administration for urban development, construction, and housing, as well as the Senate administration for mobility, transport, environment, and climate protection.
Both were isolated from the state network on Friday for security reasons to prevent further damage. The Senate's press office stated that the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the Berlin State Prosecutor's Office, and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) have been involved. A spokesperson for the Berlin State Prosecutor's Office confirmed that an investigation was launched.
A crisis team was established under the leadership of the State Commissioner for Information Security of Berlin. "For investigative reasons, no further concrete information on the extent and background can be given at the moment," the press office added. It remained unclear whether the affected administrations would remain operational and if data had been leaked. The worst mistake, according to one expert, was the CEO asking, "How do I pay?"
