In Germany, an arrest warrant of a hacker from GRU, who is accused of cyber attack on Bundestag and interference in the American elections, was issued in Germany

The Federal Prosecutor's Office of Germany issued an arrest warrant from the GRU Dmitry Badin, suspected of Kiberatak for the German parliament in 2015, reports the SueDdeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

On April 30, 2015, several members of the Bundestag received a phisho letter by mail, the theme of which was a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The link inside was led to a fake UN website, and when it enters the site, a malicious program was imperceptibly installed. The attack ended on May 20, by this moment the hackers managed to download at least 16 gigabytes of data. The degree of their confidentiality is not specified. The hacker attack was so serious that the Bundestag’s computer system had to be turned off for several days for safety purposes, DW recalls.

The prosecutor’s office claims that one of the organizers of the hacking of the German parliament was Hacker Dmitry Badin - a 29 -year -old native of Kursk, who works in one of the GRU divisions and accused, in particular, in the intervention of the 2016 election campaign in the United States. At the same time, as Spiegel points out, the detention of Badin, who is supposedly located in Russia, seems unlikely.

Badina and still six alleged colleagues are accused of attacking Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party during the presidential campaign in the United States in 2016. In addition, the US Ministry of Justice accused Badin of attempts to hack WADA, FIFA, sports arbitration court and other sports organizations of revenge for accusations of doping by Russian athletes. According to the United States, Badin was a coordinator of hackers.
