Germany’s BSI national cyber defense body met early on Friday after it received news of the hack, a spokesman told Reuters. Politicians from the far-left Linke party were among those affected, including Dietmar Bartsch, leader of its group in the lower parliamentary house, a spokesman said. A BSI spokesman told Reuters the national cyber defense body met to coordinate the response of federal government agencies including the domestic and foreign intelligence agencies. The cyber body began meeting “as soon as were aware of this - so since this morning”, the spokesman said, without giving any details about the extent of the hack. ARD said that, after a first review of the data, journalists had not detected any incriminating content.
