Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Russia is by far the most hacked country in the world. This was announced on May 2 on the eve of SPIEF 2024 by the chief expert of Kaspersky Lab, Sergey Golovanov.
“Russia has the largest number of information security incidents in 2023 in the world, and moreover, the chances that you will now encounter phishing or other fraud just by going online are 73-75%,” quoted his words from the Prime agency.

The expert clarified that before the coronavirus pandemic, these chances were 30-35%, during the pandemic they rose to 40-50% and now amount to over 70%.
“And there is no reason that it [the percentage of the chance of meeting scammers] will begin to fall,” Golovanov emphasized.
He also answered the question of why hackers are less interested in countries with less secure infrastructure than Russia, for example, African states. According to the expert, this is due to the fact that now money is not the main thing for many hackers.
Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Rashid Nurgaliev said on April 14 that Western countries encourage cyber attacks by hacker groups against Russia. He added that Western intelligence agencies are actively using information technologies for cyber attacks on critical Russian infrastructure and for conducting intelligence activities.
On March 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the FSB to strengthen the protection of information infrastructure, as well as expand preventive response measures against the backdrop of an increase in the number of cyber attacks. The head of state invited the intelligence services to actively cooperate with scientists involved in digital development, business, and use domestic achievements in quantum technologies and the development of artificial intelligence to solve cyber defense problems.

Hackers attacked the resources of Germany's largest opposition party
The resources of Germany's largest opposition party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), were attacked by unknown hackers a week before the European Parliament elections. The newspaper Der Spiegel reported this on June 1with reference to the German Interior Ministry.
A representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained that the scale of the cyber attack cannot yet be accurately assessed, and it is unknown whether information was leaked. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted that the very nature of the actions indicates a very experienced and professional hacker.
The CDU clarified that the incident is being treated with all possible seriousness and, as a preventive precaution, a decision has been made to shut down and isolate part of the IT structure.
The Ministry of the Interior has issued a warning regarding cyber attacks to all parties in the Bundestag. Federal agencies for information security (BSI) and counterintelligence joined the investigation.
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that the European Union threatened to take action against Russia due to the alleged connection of the APT28 hacker group with Russian intelligence services. The European Union claims that Russia allegedly used the services of hackers who carried out cyber attacks on institutions in Germany and Prague in 2023.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock accused Russia of allegedly being involved in hacking the email accounts of board members of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and other parties. German authorities have repeatedly blamed Russian hackers for cyber attacks. Last November, Russian hackers were accused of hacking the Kaufhaus des Westens shopping center in Berlin.
In February 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated the hostile attitude of the German Foreign Ministry and Baerbock personally towards Moscow. At the same time, he emphasized that Bärbock and her policies harm, first of all, Berlin itself, which is losing a lot economically due to hostility towards Moscow.
