I know you planned it.
What could it be? It’s a mirage. You’re scheming on a thing, that’s sabotage!
German police arrest two suspected of spying for Russia – German police have arrested two men on suspicion of spying for Russia. The German-Russian nationals are accused of acting as agents for sabotage purposes.
Infiltration nation.
Germans “can’t be trusted” with intelligence secrets – Germany has been asking for access to Five Eyes intelligence to more than 20 years. But the extent of infiltration by Russia means that it cannot be trusted.
Germany cannot be trusted to share the UK’s share of Five Eyes intelligence secrets “as long as it remains infiltrated by Russia”, experts warned last night.
That means leaked. Like in secrets.
Russia publishes German army meeting on Ukraine – Germany is investigating the apparent interception by Russia of army officers discussing supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles – and possible targets.
Audio of the video-conference meeting was posted to social media by the head of Russia’s state-run RT channel.
The officers discuss how the missiles could hit the Kerch Bridge, which links Russia to the illegally annexed Crimea.
Russian politicians said the audio proved that its “sworn enemy” was planning attacks.
If we live in Russia too?
Germany’s would-be spies seek licence to work from home – BND intelligence service is finding expectations of flexible working and taking a mobile to the office are affecting recruitment.
“Remote work is barely possible at the BND for security reasons, and not being able to take your cell phone to work is asking much from young people looking for a job.”
That means dependency.
In this case, being dependent on China.
Germany planning to ban Huawei, ZTE from parts of 5G networks.
There is no evidence that China is spying with the help of the telecom equipment suppliers’ technology. Nevertheless, they are to be banned from the 5-G network – for fear of dependencies.
Tank goodness we have intelligence services.
German arrested for allegedly passing on intelligence to Russia – A German citizen was arrested at the Munich airport on suspicion of treason for allegedly colluding with an intelligence service employee to pass on intelligence to Russia, the prosecutor general’s office said on Thursday.
The man, identified as Arthur E., was arrested on Sunday upon arriving in Germany from the United States, the prosecutor said in a statement. He is said to be an associate of Carsten L., an employee of the German foreign intelligence service (BND) who was arrested in December on suspicion of spying for Russia.
That means mole.
German politicians hail capture of suspected Russian ‘mole’ – The capture of an alleged Russian spy in Germany’s intelligence agencies has been called a “wake-up call” by politicians who are concerned by the threat of hybrid warfare.
“The fact that there are Russian espionage activities in Germany is well known and hardly surprising. But if now even in the ranks of the BND an employee is said to have spied for Russia, then this would be a completely new and frightening quality. Of course, this also raises the question of the effectiveness of the BND’s own security.”
Wa-Way. As in Huawei. It’s the German way.
Germany is (still) a Huawei hotspot in Europe – Europe’s largest economy Germany hasn’t kicked its habit of using Chinese kit for its 5G telecoms networks yet.
A new study analyzing Huawei’s market share in Europe estimates that Germany relies on Chinese technology for 59 percent of its 5G networks. Other key markets including Italy and the Netherlands are also among eight countries where over half of 5G networks run on Chinese equipment.
It’s not like the Russians would ever interfere in Germany’s internal affairs or anything.
Germany’s cybersecurity chief faces dismissal, reports say – German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser wants to dismiss the country’s cybersecurity chief due to possible contacts with people involved with Russian security services, German media reported late on Sunday, citing government sources.
Arne Schoenbohm, president of the BSI federal information security agency, could have had such contacts through the Cyber Security Council of Germany, various outlets reported.
Schoenbohm was a founder of the association, which counts as a member a German company that is a subsidiary of a Russian cybersecurity firm founded by a former KGB employee, they wrote…
War is now waged not only on the battlefield, but also on the Internet. Hackers are the soldiers of the modern age. And Russia is one of the most active players in cyberspace: Putin’s state apparatus disinforms with media loyal to the state, clogs up comment columns on social networks with the help of so-called troll factories, or blows the whistle on direct digital attacks on other states.
That means political scientist.
Or in this case, Chinese spy.
A retired German political scientist has been charged with spying for China for almost a decade, using the political contacts he developed while working for a think tank, the German federal prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.
It said the man, identified as Klaus L. according to German reporting custom, had been recruited during a lecture trip to Shanghai in 2010, almost 10 years after joining the think tank, and had regularly passed on information until November 2019, in return for money and trips to China.
