Riga, Dusseldorf Pro-Russian hackers are threatening retaliation for the announced delivery of German Leopard tanks to Ukraine. Specifically, they announced cyber attacks on targets in Germany.
Shortly after the German government’s decision to support Ukraine with battle tanks became known on Tuesday evening, the well-known hacker group Killnet published a message on its Telegram channel on the subject and the note: “The apocalypse is getting closer and closer.”
The group calls for a “comprehensive cyber attack on Germany” in which other hacker groups should participate. The campaign has the hashtag #DeutschlandRIP.
On Wednesday, the group then published lists of potential attack targets, such as government and ministry websites.
