Putin attacks on Bavaria: "Significantly more than you think" By: Andreas Schmid Print Recently there were cyber attacks on Bavaria's government."We were clearly able to assign this to Russian Darknet circles," said Söder Minister Mehring. "The bank robbery of the past is today's cyber attack," says Bavaria's digital minister Fabian Mehring.These attacks also affect the Free State;Bavaria is in the crosshairs Putin, says Mehring in an interview with Munich Merkur.And "significantly more than you think". Attacks on Bavaria: "We were clearly able to assign Russian Darknet circles" The free voter politician also reported an event in the state capital."During this year's Munich Security Conference, where Wolodymyr Selenskyj was a guest, there were targeted DDOS attacks on the Bavarian state government."DDOS attacks mean cyber attacks, through which a website with a variety of calls is flooded within a very short time until it collapses.Bavaria fended off the attacks and quickly agreed who is behind it."We were clearly able to assign this to Russian Darknet circles," said Mehring. According to the digital minister, the danger on the Internet is real."My impression is that many people in Germany are rightly concerned about the spread of the physical war on the NATO east flank," says the freelance voter politician."But most of them show one thing: such attacks have long been taking place in the cyber room." "Prorussian initiative" also in Bavaria: "Doppelganger campaign" and disinformation The Free State has therefore also launched an “alliance against disinformation”;A network "to strengthen social resilience against disinformation. When the project was presented in the Bavarian Digital Ministry at the end of April, several disinformation campaigns were also presented. The CSU Landtag politician Sandro Kirchner, State Secretary in the Interior Ministry, dealt with the so-called "doppelganger campaign".Together with logo replica copies of websites of well -known media such as image or mirror, false claims spread about the German federal government or pro -Russian or Ukrainian positions.According to Kirchner, 8000 such individual campaigns on more than 700 websites have been given.Bavaria's authorities spoke of a "pro -Russian initiative".
