German politicians suffer massive hack of personal details and private commun... Bild has broken news today of a serious hack that is impacting public figures in Germany.
The private communications, emails, contact details, mobile phone numbers, memos, and financial information of hundreds of politicians was leaked via Twitter account in the run-up to Christmas, seemingly un-noticed until now. Victims of the hack reportedly include Chancellor Angela Merkel and president Frank-Walter Steinmeier. All German political parties apart from the far right group Alternative for Germany (AfD) have been impacted. The breadth of the hack - involving not just political parties, but also journalists, comedians, and artists - suggests that this has been a co-ordinated effort by a determined group over many many months, amassing as much personal and sensitive data as possible and releasing it with an as yet unknown end goal. How did the hackers steal the sensitive information?

As explained in their methodology, since its inception in 2016, Protenus reports have not confined themselves to just using data from HHS’s public breach tool (“The Wall of Shame”). Instead, the Protenus reports, using data compiled by DataBreaches.net, include data from incidents also involving non-HIPAA entities such as schools, businesses, and other entities. The Protenus data is also coded differently than the system HHS uses, because HHS’s “unauthorized access/disclosure” checkbox could be used to report an external hack or a rogue insider stealing data, or some other type of incident. For Q3, Protenus reports that their analyses are based on 117 incidents, compared to 110 incidents for Q1 and 142 incidents for Q2.
But while the number of incidents decreased from Q2 to Q3, the number of breached records increased from 1.1 million in Q1 to 3.1 million in Q2 to 4.4 million in Q3.
