Russian Hackers Access Signal Messages In Germany

Russian intelligence services have successfully conducted phishing attacks against German Members of Parliament. Intelligence suggests that Russia is behind these cyber operations. CDU security politician Roderich Kiesewetter has called for the expulsion of Russian diplomats in response to the breach. Green Party security politician Konstantin von Notz described the attacks as a wake-up call for all security sectors. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that over 20 drones were detected across 15 locations during a large-scale Russian drone attack on the Odesa region. Social media reports confirm the scale of the drone attack on Odesa as of the morning of April 27, 2026. This follows previous drone attacks on energy substations. The strikes aim to impact electricity production and transport capabilities. Russian attacks are targeting passenger trains, which serve as a symbol of Ukrainian resistance. Despite the ongoing conflict, trains have largely maintained punctuality and service. The breach reportedly affected at least two ministers and potentially journalists, diplomats, and military personnel. The attack enabled Russians to gain control over these communications.
