The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the largest mainstream opposition party in Germany, said it had experienced a massive cyber attack and had cut off part of its IT infrastructure from the internet.

The country’s interior ministry said security services were working intensively to repel and investigate the attack. The statement does not say anything about its scale or possible suspects, but it is noted:
The manner in which the attack was carried out indicates a very professional author.
Leading CDU politicians support Ukraine and often criticize the ruling coalition in Germany for indecisiveness.
Another major opposition force represented in parliaments at the federal and state levels is the far-right Alternative for Germany party, which, on the contrary, opposes military support for Ukraine, and often directly approves of other aspects of Putin’s policies.
Russia has been repeatedly accused in recent years of cyberattacks on German government agencies, including the Bundestag, the Federal Chancellor’s Office, and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense.
On May 2, the NATO Council mentioned Germany among the Alliance states that have recently been subject to “hybrid activities” by Russia, including cyber attacks, sabotage, disinformation campaigns and other activities.
