Germany's domestic intelligence agency has warned against a group belonging to Russia's military intelligence (GRU) known as Unit 29155, saying it has carried out cyber attacks against NATO and European Union member states.

In a post on social platform X - formerly known as Twitter - the German agency said it issued the warning together with the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the US cyber security agency CISA and other international partners.

The warning comes at a time of growing concern in Europe about the potential for Russian hackers and spies to spread since Moscow's war in Ukraine in 2022.

Earlier in the year, Berlin accused Russia of carrying out several cyber attacks against the ruling Social Democrats, as well as several other companies involved in the logistics, defense, aerospace and information technology sectors.

In the warning issued on Monday, the German agency said that the Russian group, known as the "Ember Bear", has carried out activities aimed at espionage and sabotage, with the aim of stealing published data.

The unit of the Russian agency, GRU, is known for its suspected involvement in the poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Britain in 2018, according to the German agency./ REL
